Ready for the Ward – Simulation Training at Pflege Campus Kufstein
From Textbook Knowledge to Clinical Confidence
At KUFSIM, the campus simulation center, nursing students gradually learn the concrete demands of clinical practice. The required course Ready for the Ward introduces essential routines, workflows, and core competencies – helping to reduce uncertainty and build confidence before entering the workplace. A key component of the training is interprofessional collaboration.
Students train alongside practicing nurses and physicians. This interdisciplinary approach not only builds critical skills such as communication, decision-making, and teamwork, but also fosters a deeper understanding of clinical roles and responsibilities. The result is a realistic view of daily collaboration and the foundation for future professional networks – invaluable for practice and career readiness.
Simulation Meets AV Technology
The training is supported by a SIMStation Pro – a professional AV system for recording and debriefing. Using integrated camera and microphone technology, the simulation is transmitted live to the control room, where instructors can observe, annotate, and guide the session without disrupting the training environment.
The recorded material then forms the basis for video debriefing. Together with instructors, participants reflect on their actions, communication, and decision-making processes – from multiple perspectives and supported by expert feedback. This transforms the lived experience into a measurable learning opportunity.
A key advantage: the SIMStation Pro is mobile. The system can be set up and dismantled within minutes and is used across various training rooms on campus. It is also regularly transported to the district hospital in Kufstein to conduct in-situ simulations directly in the clinical environment – building an essential bridge between education and real-world practice.
"With SIMStation Pro Gen2, we found the ideal product for conducting training in the simulation center as well as in-situ training."

SIMStation Pro: An Enrichment for Students, Instructors, and Professionals
Bridging the Gap
The SIMStation Pro supports the campus's aim to bridge the gap between theory and practice in education, as well as between students and professionals, by enabling high-quality simulation and video debriefing.
Improved Training
The SIMStation Pro facilitates enhanced training outcomes through comprehensive video debriefing sessions, allowing students to critically review their actions and benefit from feedback from instructors and peers.
Flexible Application
The SIMStation Pro is a versatile system that can be used both on-campus, providing mobility within the training center, and for in-situ simulation in the district hospital, thus covering various learning environments and scenarios.
