Clinical Skills and Simulation Center Princess Nourah Bint Abdulrahman University is a living testimony to the scientific and medical renaissance Contact Us
The Life Support Training unit has been recognized as an International Training unit that is accredited by the American Heart Association since August 23, 2015, up to the present. It offers many accredited basic and advanced courses designated for health care providers and students at health colleges in compliance with the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties requirements and the required accreditation standards. Furthermore, the unit provides training, educational courses, and classes for several segments of society, such as school students and private and governmental sector employees. Training is carried out using manikins and task trainers on performing high-quality CPR and other critical skills.
One of its most important missions is to empower individuals with the necessary skills, enhance community awareness of the importance of First Aid and CPR, promote their level in providing a safe environment, and share knowledge.
CPD unit has been considered a pioneer in simulation-based training and was the home of various training programs and events to raise the clinical skills, efficiency, and safety of healthcare providers and health sciences students. This, ultimately, will be reflected in the quality and safety of healthcare and reduce medical errors.
Continuous Professional Development focuses on acquiring knowledge, skills, and abilities that are widely transferable across job performance.
The Academic Programs Department is responsible for integrating health simulation into the curricula, whether for undergraduate or postgraduate students. It also provides a method of clinical tests using medical simulation. After review and editing by faculty members and curriculum directors.
The unit increases the effectiveness of educational outcomes in the health area and offers simulation-based training for university courses at the simulation center. In collaboration with faculty members, the unit aims to include health simulation into university curricula to help prepare both male and female students to adapt to a positive environment and ensure the safety of patients and trainees. The unit supports the colleges of medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, applied health sciences, social work, and other associated colleges.
The unit focuses on integrating health simulation in postgraduate studies, including internships, residency programs, fellowships, and masters. The unit aims to design training programs in cooperation with the heads of postgraduate studies programs linked to trainees' basic skills to hone professional skills.
The evaluation unit at Clinical Skills and Simulation Center aims to focus on developing and establishing programs and activities that specialize in assessment using simulation based on national and international guidelines and standards.
A standardized patient is a healthy Person who was carefully recruited and trained to take on the characteristics of a real Patient, thereby allowing the student to learn Diagnostic techniques, history taking, and physical assessment. Moreover, to be evaluated on learned skills in a Simulated Clinical Environment. Studies have proven that utilizing Standardized patients has led to increased learning outcomes and the quality of care.
Healthcare Simulation Operation section works hand-to-hand with SSDC internal departments, sections, and units to perform the following:
Aims to lead the transformation of medical moulage services by increasing the fidelity of the simulation-based events. The section provides innovative products that meet the need for medical simulation, contribute to providing services for the center's customers, and create opportunities for cooperation using creative solutions for training purposes.
The Simulation Research Unit is a unit responsible for creating, supervising and coordinating simulation-based research projects through the best use of the resources in the simulation center and the employment of advanced methods in the various disciplines of medical simulation.
