DocLab (Skillslab)
The interdisciplinary training centre DocLab stands for practical and professional training of students in the Physician Assistant course of studies at the HNU. Here, practical medical skills are taught in the DocLab rooms with teaching and seminar rooms including realistically equipped anamnesis and examination stations for teaching practice. The aim is objective standardised clinical practice and examination to ensure quality.
Acquisition of competencies
The DocLab ensures the practical training of Neu-Ulm students. The interdisciplinary DocLab curriculum prepares our students from the first semester onwards specifically for their future professional life. The most important medical skills, from taking blood samples to difficult patient conversations, are trained on simulators, in role-plays or in complex simulation scenarios during the course of studies. The training sessions can be transmitted via video equipment. This allows for targeted feedback.
Surgical DOCLab
In the so-called Surgical DOCLab, students acquire fundamental surgical skills such as suturing, taking blood samples, or inserting an intravenous line as part of the Surgery course.
