The Simulation Lab: Centre of Excellence was established for the first time in Northeast India by Vice Chancellor Professor Dr N.C. Talukdar and Dean of Studies Professor Bandana Dutta at the Assam Down Town University in Guwahati.
Prof Dr Manashi Sengupta, Dean (Faculty of Nursing), AdtU, delivered the inaugural address, while Dr Abhijit Dutta, Associate Dean (Faculty of Paramedical Sciences), AdtU, gave the vote of thanks.
The university had been considering establishing a simulation lab since 2020, and after much deliberation and visits to prominent simulation labs around the country, the same was eventually established at the Assam Down Town University.
The Simulation Lab is a new cutting-edge facility that has been created to bridge the gap between theory and practise, allowing students to apply important skills and knowledge without jeopardising patient safety and autonomy, as well as to develop their procedural skills.
It will empower and assist students in gaining competency in handling intricate and essential scenarios in a safe and controlled setting, preparing them to handle patients in the real world.
Simulation-based education benefits not only aspiring nurses and paramedics, but it also allows practising nurses and paramedics to hone their abilities without risking patient safety or autonomy.
The Simulation Lab will empower and enhance AdtU students pursuing health care education in their procedural abilities, as well as gain proficiency in dealing with intricate and essential scenarios in a safe and controlled environment.
