To blaze a new trail for clinical practice teaching, enrich the new force of clinical teaching research, integrate traditional and emerging technologies, and effectivelystrengthen the training of clinical skills and professional quality of medical students, NMU has constructeda Medical Education Simulation Center, covering a construction area of 12,500 m2 at present. It was officially put into use in October 2016. Based on the construction philosophy of “Integrated Management, Multi-Disciplinary Development, Large Platform Construction, and Comprehensive Application” at the current stage, the center continuously consolidates the management system, improves the rules and regulations, applies artificial intelligence (AI), informatization and other emerging technologies, and integrates resource allocation to enhance the efficiency of clinical practice teaching and effectively improve the quality of medical personnel training.
The center undertakes the teaching tasks of general surgery, diagnostics, emergency medicine, nursing, public health practice skills, clinical pharmacy and other courses in clinical medicine, nursing, preventive medicine, and other specialties related to medicine at NMU; carries out training and assessment of clinical and nursing skills, undertakes organizationand implementation of various large-scale clinical practice skills assessments such as national medical qualification examination (practical skills examination) and the national medical qualification examination (phased examination in empirical research) as a national medical qualification examination practice skills examination base. To deepen the coordination of medical education and facilitate the reform of medical examinations, NMU and the National Medical Examination Center (NMEC) formally entered into a comprehensive cooperation framework agreement in October 2019. Based on the Medical Simulation Education Center, the NMEC-NMU Medical Examination Collaboration Center was established to perform related teaching and research work, focusing on the “Application Research of Clinical Practice Skills Examination Information” and other subjects. Meanwhile, the Medical Simulation Education Center also implementsits social service function as another powerful driver for the work at the center. In 2018, approved by the superior administrative agencies, itheaded the establishment of the Jiangsu Provincial Primary Medical Personnel Training and Guidance Center to provide a high-level training and assessment platform with standardized training for the cultivation of medical students and general practitioners along with the standardized residency training.
Currently, the center has 36 sub-centers at the affiliated hospitals and clinical medical schools of NMU, further consolidating teaching resourcesbased on NUU and covering clinical practice, creating a shared platform and effectively boosting clinical quality and efficiencyimprovement and enhancement of the clinical practice teaching in NMU.As the Jiangsu Provincial Primary Medical Personnel Training and Guidance Center, ithas proactively carried out standardized, normalized and systematic professional skills training and assessment for 45 primary training base pilot units in the province, and launched the selection of demonstration bases to promote the thorough implementation of primary medical personnel training and contribute to Healthy Jiangsu and Healthy Chinacomprehensively. Meanwhile, the center has strengthened foreign cooperation and entered into formal teaching, scientific research, evaluation and teacher training partnerships with the Wiser Center of the University of Pittsburgh in USA and the Alpha Medical Concepts (AMC)in Austria. Adhering to the philosophy of “Bringing In, Going Global”, the center has actively introduced the SP mentor training of the Association of Standardized Patient Educators (ASPE), iSIM series courses and other simulation-based medical education instructor training, dispatched excellent teachers at NMUto receive research and training at the Wiser Center of the University of Pittsburgh and the Gordon Center of the University of Miami, referencing to the advanced research and practice philosophy of simulation-based medical education of overseas countries and grafted onto the simulation teaching at NMU, so as to further enhance the clinical practice teaching at NUM.
