Aligarh, August 19: Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College (JNMC), Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), has further strengthened its commitment to excellence in medical education and patient-centered healthcare with the upgradation of its Skills and Simulation Lab. The upgraded facility is aimed at equipping medical students, residents, and healthcare professionals with advanced clinical skills through simulation-based, structured, and competency-driven training.
The upgradation ceremony, held at the Old OPD Complex of JNMC, highlighted the growing importance of simulation-based education in modern medicine. By providing a safe and controlled environment for practice, simulation training enables learners to develop clinical judgement, technical skills, communication, teamwork, and confidence before applying these competencies in real-life patient care.
Inugurating the lab the Vice Chancellor Prof. Naima Khatoon emphasized that quality education, research, innovation, and lifelong learning are essential for building a responsive healthcare system. She noted that simulation-based training can significantly strengthen clinical competency while advancing the goal of safe, ethical, and patient-centered care.
Pro-Vice Chancellor Prof. Mohd. Mohsin Khan stressed the need for innovative teaching methodologies and modern infrastructure to achieve academic excellence and prepare competent, confident, and compassionate healthcare professionals.
Dean, Faculty of Medicine, Prof. Mohammad Khalid, highlighted the importance of educational innovation, deliberate practice, structured assessment, and continuous skills enhancement, observing that a robust simulation facility can contribute substantially to improving academic standards and patient-safety practices.
Prof. Obaid Ahmed, Coordinator, Skills and Simulation Lab, shared practical insights into scenario-based learning, clinical skills development, structured feedback, and continuous professional development.
The programme was conducted by Dr. Shahna Ali, Assistant Coordinator, Simulation Lab.
The upgradation holds significance for JNMC, which serves a large and diverse patient population and delivers comprehensive healthcare services on an extensive scale. The enhanced simulation-based training will help strengthen clinical competencies, thereby contributing to safer, more efficient and higher-quality patient care.
The ceremony concluded with a renewed commitment to advancing simulation-based medical education and integrating innovative training methodologies into clinical learning.
