About Us
A nationally recognised multi-disciplinary academic centre committed to excellence in medical education through high-quality simulation.
Who We Are
Welcome to the Medical Training and Simulation Centre (MTSC) of the University of Ghana Medical Centre LTD. It is a nationally recognized multi-disciplinary academic Centre committed to achieving excellence in medical education through the use of high-quality computer-based simulations.
This allows pre-service health professional students to learn various skills in a realistic but risk-free environment before encountering real patients. Additionally and in the same setting, practising health professionals are able to upgrade their skills in the diagnosis and management of various disease conditions. The MTSC also focuses on the training of the lay public — for this group, the acquisition of skills in basic life support can contribute significantly towards a victim's survival when administered correctly and timeously.

Our Simulation Methods
The Centre undertakes a variety of simulations to achieve its objectives.
Patient Simulation
High fidelity manikins are used to mimic normal physiological functions as well as various disease conditions, enabling trainees to acquire skills in history taking, physical examinations, communications, and team dynamics.
Simulated Clinical Environment
Trainees become acquainted with the clinical environment — operating theatre, labour and delivery suite, emergency room, intensive care unit, and more.
Virtual Procedure Station
Training in clinical procedures including suturing, endotracheal intubation, vascular access, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, lumbar puncture, epidural training, and nursing procedures.
Standardized Patients
Healthy individuals trained to simulate patient roles, allowing trainees to practise physical examinations, explore disease conditions, and make diagnoses in a safe setting.
