Simulation Facilities at Academia
(SGH Campus)

The simulation facility at Academia on the SGH campus is the largest in SingHealth, co-located within the three levels of training and conference facilities in Academia. The facility is fully wired audio-visually to enable live streaming, real-time recording and debriefing, and has been strategically designed to cater to a large variety of specialty training as well as facilitate immersive hospital operation training.

The facilities include: 

• First-of-its-kind 'wet' and 'dry' skills laboratories in one building
• A Surgical Simulation Room equipped with a wide range of simulators to sharpen clinical skills
• A Therapy Skills Training Laboratory for the training of allied health professionals
• A comprehensive range of laboratories, which includes a simulated Operating Theatre (OT), Intensive Care Units (ICUs), Emergency Room, Consultation Clinics, etc.
• A dedicated space fully equipped with a wide array of Extended Reality (XR) solutions and cutting-edge gaming equipment

"The new simulation labs at Academia have increased the range of simulation for clinical scenarios. They also allow scenarios involving multi-disciplines, different medical specialties and nursing teams, so that soft skills like teamwork and communications skills can be learnt and enhanced. I have used all the different training labs for groups of doctors from mixed backgrounds and also for Anaesthesiology residents. The feedback from participants have been positive as the labs incorporate realism that prepares them for real-like scenarios."​
