Our Simulation Center
Our Simulation Center allows you to fully engage in practicing the foundational skills required to care for patients in a variety of real-world settings, including procedures, clinical decision-making, response to acute emergencies, use of electronic health records, and communicating with patients and healthcare team members.
Most important, the Simulation Center will be a safe learning environment as you practice new skills and gain confidence in your ability to handle situations with real patients in our clinics and hospitals.
