The IKBFU Medical Simulation Centre has been operating for four years. The modern clinic is equipped with patient simulators, such as newborns, adults, and women in labour, both virtual and robotic. Students at the centre can gain hands-on experience — from basic intramuscular and intravenous injections to obstetric and surgical interventions.
The Simulation Centre has quickly become a key training facility not only to medical students but also to doctors and nursing staff in Kaliningrad. The Centre’s popularity, with approximately 18,000 visits per year, coupled with its advanced equipment and expertise, has propelled it to the forefront of medical simulation facilities in Russia.
When designing the Kantiana campus as part of the national “Youth and Children” project, the University management team paid particular attention to the development of simulation training. A floor of more than 900 square metres will be allocated for this purpose in the new Institute of Medicine and Life Sciences building, doubling the size of the Simulation Centre.

| A key advantage of the relocation is that the facilities will be designed specifically to meet the centre’s requirements. The new premises will include spacious classrooms for group sessions, two intensive care rooms with transparent walls for observing medical procedures, and designated areas for various specialities, including surgery, procedures, paediatrics, intensive care, and a computer room. The current location on Botkina St. is a German building that has been adapted to accommodate our needs, with classrooms ranging from 10 to 20 square metres, despite the consistent annual increase in student and doctor numbers. |
Anaesthesiology and resuscitation rooms are awaiting serious technical upgrades.

| The new campus centre will be equipped with the latest intensive care unit equipment, including artificial lung ventilation machines and infusion pumps, to ensure that it meets the highest standards. Our objective is to create conditions that closely resemble real-life emergency situations, allowing the students to practise and hone their skills. |

| The upgraded Simcentre will feature an innovative obstetrics and gynaecology training class: a fully-equipped maternity room, an upgraded delivery robot, and an expanded collection of gynaecological training models.The ultrasound diagnostics simulator will be enhanced through the acquisition of additional modules for the ultrasound machine, including obstetric-gynaecological and abdominal sections. |
The virtual clinic “Dimedus” is set to broaden its scope for medical students, offering them the opportunity to interact with a virtual patient, perform surgeries, and learn emergency and urgent care procedures. With a database comprising over five hundred simulated clinical scenarios, ranging from diagnosis to treatment, the platform is well-equipped to support medical students’ learning and training. Additionally, plans are underway to expand the service to include training scenarios for nursing staff.

| The IKBFU Medical Simulation Centre is set to become home to one of the most technologically advanced simulators and robotics facilities in Russia, along with a virtual clinic. The centre’s team of five simulation training experts is a significant asset, especially given that there are just over 30 specialists in the entire country. |
