The Arizona Simulation Technology and
Education Center (ASTEC) at The University of Arizona
College of Medicine provides innovative collaborative
learning opportunities for new students and seasoned
practitioners alike, who learn, practice and assess
their understanding of procedures in a high-tech, realistically
simulated environment.
While medicine and technology have advanced
rapidly over the past decades, the approach to medical
education has remained largely unchanged for more than
100 years.
ASTEC is on the forefront of an exciting
effort to transform medical training and reduce medical
errors. As part of the UA College of Medicine, the center
is committed to the creation, teaching and practice
of the medicine of tomorrow. |
