Participation in the 10th Congress of the Hungarian Resuscitation Society
Staff members of the Skills Center (Dr. Annamária Sarusi, Anita Ábrahám-Schliz, Orsolya Tandi) and its demonstrators (Dóra Lengyel, Kata Hodos, Eszter Bittó, Panna Grosz, Kristóf Pál Péntek, Balázs Kosztrics, Hunor Rácz) represented our Center at the professional congress entitled “Resuscitation 2026”, held in Esztergom between 26–28 February 2026.
As the participants representing the Center are themselves actively involved in organizing and teaching basic and/or advanced resuscitation training programs (BLS and/or ALS) for high school students, university students, and faculty staff, the event provided an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest professional resuscitation guidelines and educational methods, as well as to exchange experiences. Among the key topics of the congress were the national implementation of the new European resuscitation guidelines, issues related to basic and advanced life support, and innovations appearing in education.
The event also celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Hungarian Resuscitation Society, within the framework of which both professional and community programs were organized. Participation provided an opportunity for the staff and demonstrators of the Skills Center to gain up-to-date knowledge and establish new professional connections.
Educational Methodology Training at the Clinical Skills Centre
With the collaboration of the staff of the Skill Laboratory of the Békés County Central Hospital, an educational methodology training course accredited by OFTEX was organized at our Center for the second time, on February 2–3, 2026.
The training was attended by colleagues specializing in anesthesiology, cardiology, hematology, pediatrics, surgery, pediatric surgery, orthopedics, radiology, and neurology. The lead instructors were Dr. Árpád Solti (Skills Lab of Békés County Central Hospital) and Dr. Annamária Sarusi (Institute of Anesthesilology and Intensive Care).
Participants were introduced to simulation-based (experience-based and practice-oriented) educational methodologies, deepened their methodological knowledge in teaching non-technical skills, and expanded their competencies in the role of instructor.
Our Center is planning to organize further accredited educational methodology training courses for physicians and healthcare professionals. For further information, please contact: szeged.skills@szte.hu.

2024.11.07.
It was the 8th company visit organized by the association during the year. Zoltán Fábián, Deputy Director for Quality of SFF SMI, welcomed the group and provided some very important information about the university: 24,000 students, 20% of whom are from 126 foreign countries, 2,800 teaching and research staff, 12 faculties, 19 doctoral schools, 200 industrial collaborations, 137 international projects.
The speaker then presented the Integrated Management System of Univerisity of Szeged, which covers a network of numerous and diverse activities within the institution.
The visit continued with a visit to the Skills Center (building tour, viewing of skill labs), during which Anita Abraham-Schliz gave a detailed and knowledgeable description of the visited Ambulance Simulator, the cardiology, mammography, ultrasound and obstetrics educational test labs.
The presentation of the Skills Center was given the maximum score by all participants who completed the satisfaction questionnaire, both in terms of content and topicality.
Joint project of the four medical simulation centers of the Visegrad countries has been completed:
“V4 Network of Medical Simulation Centres: Building Good Practices”
The project was led by Lazarski University in Warsaw, in partnership with Masaryk University in the Czech Republic, the University of Szeged, and Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice. The aim of the project was to promote medical simulation training and collaboration in the V4 region, as well as to introduce the region as a valuable international partner in the growing global medical simulation industry.
At the end of the project, a joint publication titled ‘V4 Medical Simulation Centers Best Practices’ was released, which is available at the following link:
