The R&D&I Education Unit has an extensive and hospital-wide assignment and is responsible for the education of both students and staff, in close collaboration with the University of Gothenburg and other higher education institutions, among others. The new premises are designed for learning, simulation, skills training and pedagogical development – important elements for both patient safety and future skills supply.
"A well-functioning educational activity is a prerequisite for safe care and an attractive workplace. Today's students are tomorrow's employees, and our mission is to ensure that all students at Sahlgrenska University Hospital receive a modern and high-quality clinical education of the highest class," says Diana Swolin-Eide, Head of R&D at Sahlgrenska University Hospital.
The move to Zologen strengthens the conditions for collaboration between healthcare, academia and innovation and contributes to the development of a cohesive educational arena at Medicinareberget.
"Educational activities are a central part of the transformation of health and medical care and in Sahlgrenska University Hospital's ambition to be one of Europe's leading university hospitals. The new premises give us better opportunities to develop education, collaboration and new ways of working," says Joakim Björås, Head of Education at Sahlgrenska University Hospital.
The fact that Sahlgrenska's educational activities are now becoming part of Zologen is well in line with Akademiska Hus' mission to develop and manage long-term sustainable environments that strengthen education, research and innovation. Through flexible and appropriate training premises, conditions are created for collaboration and development in direct connection with other activities at Medicinareberget.
"Sahlgrenska University Hospital is a very important part of the West Swedish life science cluster and contributes strongly to education, research and skills supply in the region. The fact that the educational activities become part of Zologen strengthens the building's role as a knowledge environment at Medicinareberget and is well in line with our mission to develop sustainable and appropriate environments for education and research," says Tony Wolf, property manager, Akademiska Hus.
The R&D Education Unit plans to move into the Zoologist within about a year. The operations are also represented at Östra Hospital and Mölndal Hospital and are an important part of the transformation of health and medical care, with the goal of Sahlgrenska University Hospital being one of Europe's leading university hospitals.
