Simulation Learning
Get up close and personal with authentic medical scenarios that stretch your skills, test your limits and grow your confidence.
Our Sim Center is the first and only learning space of its kind in the region. It was one of 10 facilities across the nation chosen by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing for a landmark simulation study.
Specialized equipment such as anesthesia machines and gas columns adds authenticity. Digital recording equipment makes it easy to review every simulation, and build your skills.
20,000
square feet of dedicated simulation learning space
5
conference rooms for observation and debriefing
24 rooms
including an intensive care unit
How Each Simulation Works
You’ll be able to practice a variety of scenarios, and solve different challenges with different teams.
Setup
We work with experienced faculty and subject-matter experts to ensure each simulation meets learning goals and reflects on-the-job realities. Some learners participate, while others observe from a debriefing room.
Interaction
Learners interact with high-fidelity simulation manikins and patient actors. They can measure the manikin’s vital signs, from respiration to pulse and blood pressure, give an injection and even start an IV. Our manikins talk, sweat, bleed, cry, blink and more.
Communication
Technicians work behind the scenes, providing the manikins’ voices and manipulating vital signs in response to learners’ actions.
Feedback
At the end of the simulation, learners and leaders debrief on what went well, what could be improved, and what could be done differently.
Repeat
Learners often go through the scenario a second time to test what they learned during the debrief.
Study the Same Way You’ll Work
You’ll work with students from other programs in realistic scenarios simulations that mirror real-life health care settings.
