The First Stage of the Simulation Competition Was Held at European University

On May 2, the first stage of the simulation competition announced for students of the Faculty of Medicine at European University was held.

Nine teams, composed of students from both the Georgian- and English-language programs of the Medical Doctor program, worked on a clinical case specially developed for the competition.

The jury members evaluated the students based on pre-established criteria and selected six teams to advance to the next stage.

The competition jury included:

• Daniel Rey Aldana – Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain)
• Sergio Sinza Sanjurjo – Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain)
• Ana Inaouri – Invited Lecturer at European University
• Nino Tabidze – Invited Lecturer at European University

It is noteworthy that this type of competition was held for the first time at European University. Students were given the opportunity to test their theoretical and practical knowledge through the simulation of real-life cases.

Each team was assigned a patient complaining of chest pain, whose condition became critical during the visit to the doctor.

The students’ task was to gather necessary information for anamnesis, establish proper communication with the patient, check vital signs, manage an unconscious patient as a team, and perform cardiac resuscitation.

The next stage of the simulation competition will be the “Body Interact” round, which will determine the top three teams advancing to the final.
