- We are closing an important stage of a key investment," said Rector Zbigniew Gaciong during the topping out ceremony at the construction of the Medical Simulation Center. Construction work is coming to an end. Now there will be the closing of the shell and then the equipping of the building.

- The modern Center for Medical Simulation is ready to serve our students, but also the academic community of Warsaw. It will also stand open to doctors and representatives of other medical professions wishing to improve their skills," promised Rector Zbigniew Gaciong.

The Medical Simulation Center has two wings - Building A and B - both 20 meters high with five above-ground floors and two underground floors. The underground floors are planned to include a garage, a bicycle room, washrooms and locker rooms for students and staff, as well as storage facilities for teaching equipment. On the first floor, in addition to the lobby and reception area, there will be important teaching rooms: an ED simulation room, a prehospital simulation room, two BLS simulation rooms and 2 ALS simulation rooms - that is, basic and advanced resuscitation procedures.

The floors will include an operating room simulation room with an airlock, two delivery room simulation rooms, and two intensive care unit simulation rooms.

- The CSM will also have 10 OSCE, or Objective Structured Clinical Examination, exam rooms. This is an examination procedure adopted in medical universities around the world that allows an objective assessment of the various clinical competencies of examinees, the rector stressed.

Construction is scheduled to be completed by mid-November, and the move and opening by the end of the first quarter of 2024. The cost of the project, including finishes and equipment, is 151 million zlotys, and the construction itself is just over 130 million.
