About the Sim Center
Inside the Sim Center, students refine their fundamental and clinical skills in controlled, simulated health care environments. Highly specialized instructional technology is utilized, including computer-programmed full-body manikins with the capacity to realistically simulate a range of physiological states and responses. Additionally, our standardized patient program allows future health care professionals to work with individuals who portray patients from infancy through retirement. The Sim Center also functions as a place where area hospitals and clinic groups can learn and practice new techniques.
Mission
The Sim Center’s mission is to provide immersive simulation-based training that employs a variety of innovative methods and resources to support positive skills acquisition, the development of critical and creative thinking, and emphasize lifelong learning to improve outcomes across diverse industries.
Vision
The vision of the Sim Center is to advance the use of simulation to support safe, quality, and innovative learning experiences for individuals, teams, and organizations. We will bridge the gaps between theory and practice, and build relationships with academic institutions, professional organizations, and industry leaders who aspire to change the future of professional practice.
