3D Printing for Medical Models National Center for Assessment of Medical Competencies Launches Specialized Training Programme in 3D Printing for Medical Models The National Center for Assessment of Medical Competencies (NACMC) at the University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa has launched a specialized training programme entitled “3D Printing for Medical Models”, as part of the University's ongoing efforts to integrate modern technologies and innovation into medical education and training. The programme aims to develop participants' skills in using 3D printing technologies to produce accurate medical models, enabling their application in educational and training activities while supporting a clearer understanding of medical structures and practical concepts. Programme Objectives The programme focuses on developing participants' knowledge and practical skills in 3D printing, particularly through: Introducing the principles and techniques of 3D printing used in medical applications. Developing participants' ability to produce accurate medical models for educational and training purposes. Integrating modern digital technologies into medical education. Strengthening participants' practical and applied skills. Supporting the use of medical models in training and simulation. Encouraging innovation and the application of emerging technologies in the medical field. Supporting Medical Education and Training 3D printing represents an important modern technology that can contribute to the development of medical education and training methods by providing tangible models that help students and trainees examine and understand medical structures more clearly. Three-dimensionally printed medical models can also contribute to creating a more practical training environment and supporting realistic simulation-based learning, thereby enhancing participants' practical skills and readiness for professional practice. Supporting Scientific Research and Innovation The programme also contributes to expanding the use of digital manufacturing technologies in medical research by introducing participants to the potential applications of 3D printing in the development of medical models and their use for educational, training, and research purposes. This initiative reflects the University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa's commitment to promoting innovation and integrating modern technologies into education and research, while strengthening the connection between academic knowledge and emerging technological applications. Towards Technology-Enabled Medical Education The launch of this programme reflects the University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa's commitment to keeping pace with technological developments in medical education and making effective use of digital tools and emerging technologies to create a more innovative and effective learning and training environment. Through specialized training programmes, the National Center for Assessment of Medical Competencies (NACMC) continues to support capacity building and skills development, contributing to the advancement of medical education and training while opening new opportunities for the application of technology and innovation in the healthcare sector.
