•
Large scale training programs: uniformity at national level Very successful practical sessions / training in teams Sustainability effects: training for young doctors and nurses and students’ exams Mobility vs. high cost investment
Current situation / perspectives • Newly equipped simulation centers at medical university level: several specialisations • Still, investment cost is high • Private initiative
