The Center for Education in Medical Simulation (“the Center”) at the Faculty of Medicine, Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST) was awarded the Comprehensive Authorized Skills Development Center by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd) in September 2016. In May 2024, experts from the RCSEd reviewed the Center and agreed to continue this accreditation. On 24th October 2024, RCSEd officially extended this accreditation, allowing the Center to continue its commitment to medical education in Macau.
The Center is equipped with world-class simulation facilities, including the first 3D Anatomage virtual dissection table in Asia, vascular interventional surgical training simulator, robotic surgical skills training system, interactive maternity simulator, ultrasound simulation system, arthroscopic knee endoscopic surgery simulator and other laparoscopic/ endoscopic simulation systems. Over the years, the Faculty of Medicine has used this platform to offer clinical skills training courses and medical academic activities for the provision of continuous professional development of healthcare professionals. International experts were invited to give lectures in areas such as intensive care, cardiac surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, neurosurgery, radiology, gastroenterology, general surgery, anatomy, pre-hospital emergency and disaster management. In addition, the Faculty of Medicine also chair the annual Sino-Luso International Medical Forum and the Sino Asia Pacific Medical Forum. This platform therefore allows the Faculty of Medicine to advance the development of medical specialist training in China, Macau and Portuguese-speaking countries.
