Centre for Innovation in Medical Education represents an investment in academic excellence at the Aga Khan University. Pakistan’s first medical simulation centre with a range of patient manikins uses modern methods and realistic environments for intensive training to produce health professionals with excellent assessment and treatment techniques. Its opening ceremony drew acclaim from local educators and media.
A wheezing two-year-old is brought to the emergency room. Attached to a monitor, his lips are beginning to turn blue and he is having difficulty breathing. Nursing students have just four minutes to correctly diagnose and resuscitate the child simulator. Across an observation window sits a faculty member who records her observations on managing a critical patient to share with the young students at the end of the one-hour session.
