A leap in 21st-century medical education
Medical training can no longer rely solely on acquired knowledge or direct patient experience. That is why we are promoting the creation of an unprecedented academic center for medical training and research in Argentina and Latin America.
This project represents a qualitative leap in the way we teach and learn health sciences. Simulation-based training in physical and virtual environments enhances the learning experience through repetition without risk to patients, optimizes decision-making, reduces procedural errors, and ultimately saves lives. This includes the learning of clinical and surgical skills and attitudes by simulating a wide range of situations such as clinical consultation, elective and emergency surgical scenarios, and various technical procedures.All activities take place in controlled and safe environments, without involving patients.
The new Simulation-Based Education Center will comprise more than 3.500 square meters, providing students and healthcare professionals with the opportunity to train using cutting-edge technology in safe, realistic and highly controlled environments. The Project also includes classrooms, a biotechnology center and a human specimen collection area.
In the first phase, a 600 square-meter space will be built for the development of both clinical and surgical simulation and research activities. Will be based on virtual and high fidelity simulation and hands-on simulation practice on inanimate specimens. After completing this phase of the project, an 80% increase in courses is expected, reaching 60 postgraduate courses per year and training more than 1,800 healthcare professionals in areas such as surgery, ophthalmology, gastroenterology, gynecology, urology, and traumatology, among others.
● Goal Stage 1: USD 2,000,000
We expect to raise 50% of the project’s funding from international donors.
Estimated cost per space:
● Training room: USD 500,000
● Classroom block: USD 375,000
● Support facilities: USD 280,000
● 1 classroom: USD 125,000
💬Every square meter built today helps train the professionals who will care for us tomorrow.
