Alan T. Lefor教授が着任

Alan T. Lefor教授がメディカルディレクターとして、シミュレーションセンターに着任されました。

以下、Lefor教授の挨拶です。

The Medical Simulation Center at Jichi Medical University represents a major institutional commitment to use the latest technology to improve medical education, as well as an environment for education research.

Specifically, the Center will play an ever-expanding role in the education of:

  1. Medical Students
  2. Residents
  3. Staff Physicians
  4. Nurses
  5. Other members of the Healthcare team
  6. Interested members of the local Community

Simulation is an important tool in medical education, because it allows trainees to develop new skills as well as refine skills that they already have in an environment that poses no threat to the safety of patients. It also allows the development of teamwork among various members of the healthcare team. The use of simulators in medical education allows repetition of critical skills to improve those skills. By using the high technology tools at the Jichi Medical University Medical Simulation Center such as viewing areas and video cameras, we also have the ability to review the performance of participants in great
detail in order to provide detailed feedback.

The optimum role for simulation in many areas of medical education has not yet been defined and further research is necessary. The Medical Simulation Center at Jichi Medical University plays an important role in the conduct of educational research to determine exactly how simulation should best be used in the education of future medical professionals.Alan T.
