TECHMED TOUR

Operating Room: Everyone is familiar with the operating room (OR) in the hospital. But what technical gadgets can be found here nowadays, and why do we have an operating room at the UT? One of our students will tell you all about it in our hybrid OR.
Intensive Care: Patients with various diseases are in the intensive care unit (ICU). In our ICU at the TechMed Centre, our simulated patient can replay different scenarios. Trainee doctors can practice here before going to the clinic – come and meet this patient.
Ultrasound: When you hear about ultrasound, everyone thinks of a technique to see babies in the belly of a pregnant woman, but there's actually much more it can do! In our simulation room, you will discover what it is and how ultrasound works. The demo body paint takes place here. You can see where the organs are in the body.
Laparoscopy: At first glance, the laparoscopy room might look like a playroom, but in this room, you can experience what it's like to perform a laparoscopic surgery. If you're curious about your hand-eye coordination, come take a look! This activity is suitable for all ages.
E-Health House: It's important for patients to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible and go home safely. In the e-Health House, you will learn about various sensors and other tools that can help patients with this.
