Spatial Compositions and Architectural Attributes of a Simulation-based Clinical Education Training Center

초록

This study suggests a design plan for a clinical education and training center that could provide a more systematic learning approach for local medical personnel that includes students on the campus of Chungnam National University. This center would strengthen the publicity of the National University Hospital and contribute to the public health system reinforcement. Throughout investigating case studies such as the START Simulation Center at the Catholic University, the Simulation Center at Asan Medical Center, and the MESH at Hanyang University, one of the key architectural attributes was that simulation rooms were guided and managed by their own control rooms. Through one-way mirrors, and debriefing rooms, students had a chance to review clinical processes and medical treatments in adjacently placed simulation rooms. In addition, the floor plans were generally composed of a double aisle, which made the overall circulation more effective. Based on these architectural attributes, the architectural design project presented a newly defined simulation-based clinical education training center. This clinical education training center aims to enhance clinical performances and problem-solving processes of medical and nursing students through medical simulators and provide an opportunity for local health professionals to educate them on how to use advanced medical equipment.
