Acıbadem Üniversitesi
Kerem Aydınlar Campus, Istanbul – TÜRKİYE
Acıbadem University, established in 2007 by the Acıbadem Health and Education Foundation, is a thematic university specializing in health sciences. The university, which brings the Acıbadem culture—rooted in 25 years of experience and knowledge in healthcare—into higher education, trains well-equipped and continuously developing health professionals with its strong academic staff and advanced technological infrastructure.
Located on the Asian side of Istanbul, Acıbadem University stands out with its Kerem Aydınlar Campus, which boasts a 100,000 square meter indoor area and has been certified with the LEED Gold (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for its environmental and energy design leadership.
The university features the Clinical Simulation and Advanced Endoscopic-Robotic Surgery Training Center (CASE), one of the most comprehensive medical training centers in the world with its extensive departments and technological infrastructure. CASE holds the “Center of Excellence” certification from CAE Academy, one of only two medical training centers in the world to receive this recognition. It is accredited by the Network of Accredited Clinical Skills Centers of Europe (NASCE) and the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH), and it offers pre-graduation and post-graduation training.
Acıbadem University continues its educational activities with 5 Faculties, 2 Vocational Schools, 4 Institutes, and various research centers working on diverse projects.
Acıbadem Clinical Simulation Training Center
Acıbadem University – CASE is composed of two main centers: the Clinical Simulation Training Center and the Advanced Endoscopic/Robotic Surgery Training Center. CASE is one of the most comprehensive training centers in the world in its field, aiming to enhance patient safety and the quality of health education through clinical simulation and practical training models.
Advanced Endoscopic and Robotic Surgery Training Center
CASE features a 2200 square meter indoor area, which includes medical simulation laboratories, a fully equipped operating room with 9 surgical tables for laparoscopic surgery, a robotic surgery training center, and a dissection laboratory for cadaver-based surgical training. Additionally, it has laboratories equipped with surgical simulators. The center uses mechanical ventilation with point source suction from the operating tables and creates airlocks by pressurizing the room entrances with clean air. This setup prevents air and odor from escaping the room and ensures a comfortable working environment for users.
Clinical Simulation Center
Designed to mimic real-life scenarios within an 1800 square meter area, this center includes an emergency department, an ambulance simulator, an operating room, skill laboratories, a delivery room, debriefing rooms, a home environment simulation room, patient rooms, nursing simulation laboratories, a drug preparation room, a polyclinic, two virtual reality laboratories, and ultrasound training facilities.
