| Abstract |
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. |
