Clinical Simulation Center

Overview

The Clinical Simulation Center is designed to offer a wide variety of clinical training experiences for medical and allied health students. In the Simulation Center, students will be able to practice risky procedures and build vital skills without risk to the patient. Patient care teams can practice working together to improve their teamwork and working relationships. Patient safety training can simulate dangerous situations or “replay” critical events to learn how to reduce risk. The center can also be used to learn how to provide care utilizing telemedicine.

The Simulation Center has an acute care room with a human patient simulator, 3 examination rooms, and a debriefing room with High Definition videoconferencing. A state-of-the-art digital video capture and management system, allows any of the clinical encounters to be recorded and reviewed to provide the student with critical feedback on their performance. Each room is equipped with a computer for the patients to use to provide feedback on the students performance as well.
