Discover Apollo Simulation Centre: Leading the Way in Medical Simulation Training

Welcome to the Apollo Simulation Centre (ASC), a pioneering medical simulation centre designed to redefine the standards of medical training and education. At ASC, we are committed to empowering healthcare professionals with state-of-the-art simulation technologies and a curriculum that defines excellence on a global scale.

What We Do

High-Fidelity Manikins for Realistic Training

Our use of hi-fidelity manikins distinguishes our training methodology. These sophisticated models simulate human physiological conditions with remarkable accuracy, allowing trainees to practice and hone their skills in a risk-free setting. Customisable simulation environments mimic real-life scenarios, allowing for the simulation of sudden emergencies and complications in critical care, obstetrics, and paediatrics. Whether it’s assessing cardiac emergencies or managing airway complications, our manikins provide invaluable tools for critical hands-on practice.

Advanced Surgical and Analytics Driven Trainers

For those specialising in surgery, our advanced surgical trainers offer a dynamic platform to practice and perfect surgical techniques. These state-of-the-art analytics, analytics-driven trainers replicate the complexities of human anatomy and surgical interventions, offering unparalleled detail and realism. The difficulty levels can be adjusted to meet the learner’s needs, particularly in airway management and resuscitation. The feedback software integrated into the trainers provides objective assessments to track skill development.

Best Simulation Curriculum Tailored for Excellence

At ASC, we take pride in our best-in-class simulation curriculum, meticulously designed to meet the diverse needs of healthcare professionals. Each course is structured to enhance technical skills, critical thinking, and teamwork, ensuring that trainees not only learn the theory but also master its practical application with high competence.

Empowering Healthcare Professionals

At Apollo Simulation Centre, our mission is clear—to shape the future of medical learning through innovative simulations. We are committed to providing healthcare professionals with realistic and effective training experiences that empower them to deliver superior care and treatment.

Dr. Prathap C. Reddy, Founder-Chairman of the Apollo Hospitals Group, is the visionary architect of modern Indian healthcare. He is best described as a compassionate humanitarian who dedicated his life to bringing world-class healthcare within the economic and geographic reach of millions.

In 1983, Dr. Reddy embarked on an extraordinary journey by establishing Apollo Hospitals, which not only revolutionised healthcare in India but also pioneered the private healthcare industry in India. The Apollo model of care inspired many, and today, over 300 large, high-quality hospitals across the country have elevated the quality of care, providing services at a fraction of international costs. This transformation has reshaped healthcare access and improved the lives of millions in India.

 

Dr. Prathap C. Reddy

Founder-Chairman

The Government of India mandates simulation-based training in all undergraduate programmes. It is only prudent that postgraduate and super-speciality doctors have a preemptive knowledge of difficult clinical situations before treating real patients.

Ultrasound Simulator

The innovative ultrasound simulator enables learners to simultaneously correlate the scanned image with the internal anatomy for better proficiency. The sections of anatomy can be demonstrated in a three-dimensional view to enhance the understanding of learners. The simulator is also equipped with modules for ultrasound guided interventions.

Endo-laparoscopy Simulator

The endo-laparoscopy simulators are equipped with latest technology to help learners become confident and adept at hand-eye coordination and equipment dexterity. Basic and advanced procedures in laparoscopy, bronchoscopy, hysteroscopy and endoscopy can be learnt and updated using the high-tech instruments.

Endo-vascular Simulator

The endo-vascular intervention simulator, the first of its kind in Asia, provides training in intricate vascular abnormalities. Real patient images can be incorporated for training, enabling learners to practice complex procedures before performing them on actual patients.

Task Trainers

Our task trainers are lifelike anatomical models designed to enhance procedural skill acquisition for healthcare learners. These specialised simulators allow students to practice techniques such as surgical procedures repetitively, without risk to patients. This method fosters a safe learning environment where mistakes turn into valuable learning experiences. By focusing on specific skills, task trainers provide targeted practice that is crucial for building confidence and competence in medical procedures before real-life application.
