Since 2017 the simulation lab at FSCH has been operational and responsible for the training of many of our healthcare professionals. Simulation labs like this are becoming more and more standard when it comes to medical training, being implemented not only in hospitals for practicing healthcare professionals, but in universities for students as well.
