SIMS Medical Center is a nationally recognized patient simulation facility with an experienced faculty and staff dedicated to the exploration of patient simulation with the goal of improved patient care.
SIMS Medical Center (SMC) provides a state of the art educational environment where students and health care personnel obtain new skills and refine existing competencies. SMC has provided workshops for a wide variety of participants, from beginners to "train the trainers." SMC also provides elementary through high school students a chance to explore health careers.
An emphasis on interdisciplinary scenarios closely replicates the medical workforce environment of today. SMC includes a four bed Acute Care Unit, Trauma Room, Surgical Suite, Basic care Unit, and the two bed Berkshire Bank Critical Care Unit. Students get direct hands-on experience with patient simulators from Laerdal, METI, and Gaumard placed in realistic medical settings.
Great to see schools utilizing this technology. I wrote a post about this as well at ITHireWire.com
