Available rooms

The Skills Centre

The Skills Centre is in the teaching wing of Rikshospitalet, and is about 300 sq.m., with different course rooms for practising practical procedures, and perform communication training. The course rooms contain dolls, models, and examination tables / equipment for practical practice on different procedures which students must learn to master.Students have access to the Skills Centre all day with their ID cards.

In collaboration with the clinical instructors, practising procedures will be integrated with the patient-oriented teaching in each department. The Skills Centre will also be a centre for developing and using information technology in medical studies. Using computers and commercial / in-house produced multimedia training programs, students may gain access to an important supplement in their skills training. The computer programs allow standardization of the different procedures, and give students experience with using information technology – the latter is considered very important to future exercise of the profession. There is a conscious commitment to use of information technology in teaching at the Medical Faculty of the University of Oslo, developing TV offerings, digitizing the syllabus, and developing multimedia learning programs. This venture has made the Faculty a national leading centre for development and use of IT in medical education. This work will be continued by the Skills Centre.
