At CSM in Zabrze, on five floors, students have 7 simulation rooms at their disposal, equipped with the most modern phantoms. Two rooms equipped with real dental units and phantoms allow you to practice the manual skills of future dentists. Teeth models, the structure of which reflects various clinical cases, allow for learning the treatment of caries, placing fillings or root canal preparation. Modern simulation is not only simulators, but also more and more advanced computer software. Thanks to the partnership agreement with Asseco Poland SA, SUM, as the first university in Poland, launched a laboratory at CSM to learn how to comprehensively operate the IT hospital system. This enables students to acquire the necessary skills in the use of IT tools that they will encounter in hospitals or clinics. Medical simulation classes are also held with the participation of the so-called standardized patients – these are specially employed people who, after completing the appropriate training, play the role of patients.
