With a view to the promotion of innovation, the advancement of knowledge through research, the development of our students’ comprehensive knowledge with critical understanding, synthetic thinking and specific skills, the Faculty of Medicine has set out a framework of priorities including primarily the fields of education, research, clinical practice and inter-connection of our Faculty with the society.
The Strategic Plan for the Faculty of Medicine, of the Health Science School of the University of Ioannina, is here.
Medical simulation - either computer-based or with the use of simulated human patients - aims at promoting learning effectively, without endangering patients' lives.
It advances the acquisition of clinical skills in a variety of critical clinical conditions, inside and outside the operating room, which require immediate treatment, in a prioritized and disciplined manner, within a limited period of time. At the same time, the procedure is recorded and the trainee's performance is evaluated.
The advantage of using simulators is that they can be programmed tailored to specific educational needs, simulating a number of selected conditions and complications and allowing the trainees to expand their knowledge and skills without endangering patients.
The Medical Simulation Center of the Faculty of Medicine at the School of Health Sciences run by the Anesthesiology Department, and more about the center is here.

As part of the internal evaluation process, the educational work provided by the Faculty of Medicine is evaluated. The aggregated results of the electronic questionnaires (provided by the Quality Assurance Unit) are completed by the students at the end of each semester for the evaluation of the Department’ s undergraduate courses.
Based on the results of the questionnaires, the Internal Evaluation Group prepares a special evaluation report. This report is discussed within both the General Assembly of the Department and the Sector Assemblies, in which student representatives also participate.
The results of this evaluation are distributed separately for each undergraduate course to the Sector Chairs and individual Course Directors, followed by a discussion in the Sector Assemblies - with the participation of student representatives - and a written report to the head of the Faculty of Medicine and the Internal Evaluation Group.
