We offer a well-appointed learning environment, which includes a medical center, a community medical treatment center and a long-term care institution, all of which have been appraised as first class.

Approaches such as group discussions, role playing, teaching demonstrations, oral presentations, project design, and the use of multi-media and virtual patient ward models are utilized.
