Ibn Al-Baitar Clinical Simulation and Experiential Learning (ICSEL)

ICSEL-RCSI MUB Main Campus

Ibn Al-Baitar Centre for Simulation and Experiential Learning is designed to replicate a hospital setting. The facility features general wards, an emergency and critical care room, an obstetrics and delivery ward, a debriefing room and a control room with state-of-the-art audiovisual systems to allow live communication during the session, as well as recording and playback of sessions.

The School of Medicine and the School of Nursing and Midwifery share the centre, either autonomously or collectively, which provides our students the opportunity to experience interprofessional learning. While training in the Centre, students are required to behave as though they are in a hospital setting in terms of adhering to infection control practice, professionalism, and communication with peers and patients.

RCSI Bahrain’s simulation facilities in the Al Sayah Square complex are a total of 577 square meters. It is located on the 1st floor across the road from the main campus and consists of 5 teaching rooms and a simulation suite.

This area serves as a teaching space for tutorials, an examination hall as well as a teaching space for clinical skills such as procedural skills, history taking and physical examination with our simulated patients.
