GRUNI Simulation Center at Pineo
Before entering patient wards, GRUNI students train in a dedicated, high-fidelity Simulation Center. This facility uses robotic mannequins and interactive screens to simulate emergencies, surgical procedures, and clinical assessments in a controlled environment.
During the clinical phase (Years 3 through 6), students spend significant time at Pineo Medical Center:
- Bedside Learning: Students participate in daily ward rounds under the supervision of senior attending physicians.
- Hands-on Tasks: Under guidance, students learn to take patient histories, perform basic physical examinations, interpret diagnostic reports, and observe surgeries.
- Case Presentations: Students prepare and present complex patient cases to their professors, refining their diagnostic and communication skills.
By integrating high-end simulation tech with real bedside learning at Pineo Medical Center, GRUNI ensures that its graduates are confident, highly skilled, and fully prepared to step into any hospital environment globally.
