Our Simulation Center
Our cutting-edge patient simulation center is designed to emulate the conditions health care professionals encounter in real settings. Each room contains a modern array of equipment utilized in different clinical scenarios. Healthcare professionals can practice and refine their skills with a diverse patient population without putting real patients at risk. Simulation sessions conducted in our units provide opportunities to practice caring for a wide range of patients at various stages of life and wellness.
