Center of Clinical Skills and Multidisciplinary Simulation
Clinical skills and Multidisciplinary Simulation Center of Tbilisi State Medical University is located in the I building of the University. The center is equipped with latest computer and high-tech educational equipment, medical simulators and mannequins (see simulators). The laboratory aims to provide efficient and up-to-date education in clinical and practical skills to future doctors.
The Center for Clinical Skills and Multidisciplinary Simulation regularly conducts trainings for non-medical professionals in First Aid and Emergency Medical Care. The center actively participates in the "Tbilisi Festival of Science and Innovation." More than 1500 schoolchildren visited the center of Clinical Skills and Multidisciplinary Simulation of TSMU and practically performed first aid procedures on mannequins within the framework of the project "Pro-orientation" implemented by the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia.
In 2012, an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) was piloted within the framework of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) program "Sustain". And later, with their help, in close cooperation with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of TSMU, the training programs were updated and revised, and the clinical skills center of TSMU was additionally equipped with simulators and task trainers. Within the framework of the program, from the 2013-2014 academic year, the OSCE examination in obstetrics and gynecology is held at the Center of Clinical Skills and Multidisciplinary Simulation of the TSMU for the fourth-year students of the Faculty of Medicine.
Since 2017, the Clinical Skills and Multidisciplinary Simulation Center of Tbilisi State Medical University has been included in the European directory of simulation centers.
The center constantly holds meetings with foreign partners in order to improve the management of the center. Since the fall of 2023, we have been actively cooperating with such organizations as "Qpercom", "ExamSoft-Turnitin", "Cameron Communications" to develop OSCE exam software using advanced technologies.
