The summer is slowly coming to an end, but the preparation of the Simulation Centre of Masaryk University’s Medical Faculty is running at full speed. The site of the future centre already shows the first significant structural changes. Neither the professional team is being idle.

During the holidays, Masaryk University is to begin the construction of their Simulation Centre (SIMU) for practical training of future physicians, for which the university signed today the contract with the general contractor, Společnost Komplexní simulační centrum (an association of PSJ a.s., IDPS s.r.o., and OHL ŽS a.s.).
