[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Keimyung University has established an advanced clinical and practical integrated education system in the field of nursing in Korea.

On the 11th, Keimyung University College of Nursing opened the K-SMART Center (Keimyung SiMulation Advanced Reality Training Center) as part of its practical education support project.

The K-SMART Center was selected for the "2020 Nursing College Practical Education Support Project" led by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and is conducting a project to strengthen clinical practice and practical training.

This project aims to improve the adaptability of new nurses to hospital settings and enhance the quality of medical care.

Keimyung University remodeled the 1st, 3rd, and 4th floors of the College of Nursing building to establish eight simulation rooms. In addition, one online simulation education room and one virtual reality room were added, completing a total of ten simulation rooms and five OSCE-dedicated rooms.

The Department of Nursing at Keimyung University expanded the existing simulation center and strengthened simulation education capabilities to provide students with a high level of education.

With the establishment of the 3-WINGS model, a complex simulation center integrating school, hospital (clinical), and research will be operated.

Also, by introducing a new simulation curriculum, simulation courses will be organized and standardized across a total of 13 subjects in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th-year curricula, operating standardized patients, high-fidelity simulators, hybrid, and virtual simulations.

In addition to the College of Nursing, programs will be operated in collaboration with the College of Medicine, College of Pharmacy, and departments related to medical and health sciences to promote organic cooperative education among professional fields.

Dean Kim Na-hyun of the College of Nursing said, "We can now focus on nurturing more innovative and excellent nursing personnel," adding, "We will prepare programs linked with local hospitals to contribute to medical staff education and open our doors to faculty and students of local universities to grow together."
