GMU opens Thumbay Institute of Clinical Simulation

Gulf Medical University on Wednesday opened the Thumbay Institute of Clinical Simulation at its Ajman campus, a next-generation training hub designed to let students, residents, and practising clinicians learn, rehearse, and master real-world care in a safe, high-fidelity environment.

The inauguration took place at 10:00 am at Gulf Medical University in the presence of academic leaders, faculty, and healthcare partners.

Great clinicians aren't built in lecture halls alone. They're shaped by repeated, guided practice on lifelike scenarios until the right response becomes second nature. The new institute delivers exactly that-team-based drills, Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs), crisis resource management, and procedure training across medicine and allied health using advanced manikins, task trainers, simulated wards, and digital recording for debrief.

With the opening, GMU and the Thumbay academic health system are assembling the UAE's largest integrated network of healthcare simulation centres. This network includes:

• Thumbay Clinical Simulation Centre

• Dental Simulation Centre

• Physiotherapy Simulation Centre

• Thumbay Surgical Skills Centre
