Medical education in an environ-
ment offering optimized safety
Academy for Medical Training and Simulation, Lucerne, Switzerland
The building
The AMTS Lucerne is a leading center for
medical training and process simulation
in the areas of musculoskeletal surgery
and emergency medicine. A high-tech
center encompassing 2,500 square me-
ters on four floors offers state-of-the-art
facilities and equipment for surgery and
emergency management courses. A fully
equipped operating room, workshop
rooms, a shock room with a CT simulator,
and a complete ICU are available for practi-
cal exercises. “There is no comparable in-
stitution in Europe which allows the entire
chain of treatment to be practiced,” ex-
plains Dr. med. Roger Zobrist, surgeon as
well as co-founder and CEO of AMTS: “In
surgery and medicine, the requirements
for training, continuing education, science,
and networking have changed dramatically.
The academy was founded to address these
challenges.”
The Academy for Medical Training
and Simulation (AMTS) in Lucerne,
provides continuing medical
education for physicians from all
over Europe. The high-tech center
offers state-of-the-art facilities
and equipment for surgery and
emergency management courses.
The challenge
The Academy for Medical Training and
Simulation (AMTS) in Lucerne requires
uninterrupted operation of its training
and simulation center without compromis-
ing the safety of visitors and employees
and the security of the infrastructure.
Protection with unmatched reliability which
supports all functions crucial to AMTS was
needed. AMTS’ investments have to be pro-
tected with superior detector
technology
which avoids false alarms, fire control
panels with intuitive user interfaces, in-
telligent signal processing, and full network
connectivity. Further important criteria
were the flexibility of the system and the
integration of the protection system into
the existing monitoring system. Fire safety
has top priority. “We have a variety of rooms
with sensitive and expensive equipment
that require extra protection. For this rea-
son, we chose a fire safety solution from
Siemens,” says CEO Roger Zobrist.
