At UAX we are committed to the correct acquisition of competencies in professional values, scientific foundations, clinical skills, public health and health systems, information management, critical analysis and research. To achieve this, we use an innovative teaching methodology based on experiential learning.

In the nursing degree from the first year, the training is focused from a practical point of view and you will learn about all the nursing specialties.

You will be trained in the Virtual Simulation Hospital, rehearsing all kinds of clinical situations, so that you learn with real dynamics, train your skills, reflect on each action and enter into a process of continuous improvement and evolution.

The most cutting-edge tools on the market to learn in a unique way.

Students work with the latest simulation and immersive reality technologies:

• BodyInteract: interactive table to address real clinical situations with virtual patients;
• SECTRA Portal: learning platform that allows the study of clinical cases and understanding of anatomy, using radiological and histological images of real cases.
• Learning Space: digital platform that connects the entire simulation-based learning environment with the most advanced management and process evaluation tools. In addition, you will train with highly interactive human mannequins and with physiological reactions of adult patients, breastfeeding patients and pregnant women, which will help you to learn about all auxiliary nursing care.

You will also train in the multidisciplinary environment of the Ciudad Sanitaria UAX.
