a clinical skill enhancing center that allows students through moulages and
mannequins learn and put into practice all the manipulations they will need for
professional activities. The center is equipped with full body moulages that
allow students to learn manage pathologies such as burns, fractures, injuries,
as well as small moulages that allow students to study different types of
injections, treat wounds and sutures.
In addition to
practicing clinical skills and maneuvers, the Center for Clinical Skills will
provide students with the opportunity to work in virtual reality, using
ultra-modern equipment to allow them to explore in more detail and see with
their own eyes the structure and functions of the human body. The equipment at
the center meets international standards and is gradually upgraded.
