Services

Facilities and hands-on equipment for education and research support services built around medical simulation.

Facilities Configured to Your Needs

A simulation room with high-fidelity mannequins

Whether you have a small or large group, we can tailor our set-up to fit your needs. Groups can circulate through multiple stations, experiencing simulation scenarios in areas such as the operating room (OR) and resus room before moving on to the inpatient unit. Groups wishing to use more space at once can take advantage of our movable walls, which allow the inpatient unit, OR and resus room to be opened into one large horseshoe-shaped space.

Our team also supports simulation activities in the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing, which offers a wide range of environments from a realistic waiting room and exam rooms to a hospital ward and one-bedroom apartment suite for home health simulations.
