Expanding Boundaries In Medical Education With HSDC’s Master Trainers Program

The Healthcare Simulation Development Centre (HSDC), in collaboration with MediSim VR, a leader in healthcare simulation technology, proudly announces the successful completion of its groundbreaking Master Trainers programme (MTP). This first-of-its-kind initiative integrates simulation-based medical education with virtual reality and hybrid simulation modalities, setting new standards in healthcare professional training.

The program is led by renowned experts Dr. Dinker Pai, Professor of Surgery and Director of the Medical Simulation Centre at Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Centre, Puducherry, and Dr. Mahalakshmi VN, Dean of Health Professions Education and Professor of Pediatric Surgery at Aarupadai Veedu Medical College & Hospital, the program provided participants with an unparalleled learning experience.

The MTP’s innovative curriculum seamlessly integrates VR and hybrid modalities in skill training. Participants gained hands-on experience applying Peyton's Learning Models through VR simulations, enhancing their practical medical education techniques. The program also covered the development of Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE) and student performance evaluation using virtual environments. Over XX healthcare professionals, educators, and practitioners benefited from this transformative program, acquiring skills to revolutionize their teaching and assessment methods.

Dr. Dinker Pai stated, "As educators, it is our responsibility to equip the next generation of healthcare professionals with the most advanced and effective learning tools. The Master Trainers Programme offers just that, with its blend of virtual and hybrid simulations. I strongly advise healthcare professionals to explore these innovative methods through hands-on experiences and training, as they are key to improving clinical skills education and ultimately enhancing patient care outcomes."

Dr. Adith Chinnaswami, Co-founder of MediSim VR, added, "This program marks a significant milestone in the future of medical education. By integrating cutting-edge VR simulations with traditional training methods, we are providing healthcare professionals with a dynamic learning platform that truly enhances their teaching and assessment capabilities. I look forward to witnessing all healthcare educators embrace these tools for training and evaluating their students."
