Currently, 803 academic and 641 administrative personnel are employed by Koç University. KU has nursing skill laboratories, simulation center and Rahmi M. Koç Academy of Interventional Medicine, Education, and Simulation (RMK AIMES). While low-fidelity simulations are used to teach basic skills, high-fidelity simulations (e.g., manikin-based simulation) standardized patients are used to teach advanced skills such as critical thinking, problemsolving, teamwork, decision-making, and communication skills. In the simulation center, environments and situations similar to real-life clinical challenges are created for students, allowing them to make mistakes and reflect on and learn from them.
