Ready for Practice: From Graduate to Clinician

Clinical Reasoning, Simulation, and Practical Skills for New Doctors

September 12-16, 2026 at Terme Tuhelj Spa and Ljubljana Simulation Center

Ready for Practice: From Graduate to Clinician was an intensive transition-to-practice workshop designed for final-year medical students and recent medical graduates preparing to enter clinical practice.

This hands-on, case-based program allowed young physicians to move from theoretical knowledge to real-world clinical decision-making. Through interactive teaching, small-group case discussions, skills stations, simulation-based learning, and structured debriefing, participants practiced the essential skills needed for their first days of clinical responsibility in urgent care, emergency medicine, hospital wards, or family practice.

2026 SIM Mobile Lab Tour

Pediatric Emergencies

March 13 & 14: Zagreb

March 20: Osijek

March 27: Split

May 8: Matulji

In partnership with Simulation Centre Ljubljana, our mobile lab traveled throughout Croatia, providing hands-on, simulation-based medical education to the communities where final-year medical students and recent medical graduates live and train.

Small-group instruction was used alongside high-fidelity simulation to focus on clinical reasoning, emergency response skills, teamwork, communication, and patient safety. This experience helped learners bridge the gap between theory and practice in a safe and supportive environment.

We are grateful to our partners, educators, and participants who made this program a success.

Together, we are building the future of medical education - one simulation at a time.
