Second Floor

There are six patient suites designed to hold up to two simulated patients each. Simulated patients include neonates, children, and adults. The rooms are furnished and equipped to mimic the hospital environment so that clinicians can easily transfer their skills to hospital patient care.

Examples of activities include care for any age patient. Computer controlled simulators can replicate any medical illness or condition of a real person, responding in real-time to the interventions of the learners, including administration of medications and intravenous fluids. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, ventilatory management, and a variety of invasive procedures can be practiced in a real patient care environment.

Labor & Delivery Suites

Two labor and delivery suites are designed for care of up to two laboring maternal simulators each, along with the space to care for their newborns once delivered.

Examples of activities including care for laboring mothers and newborn babies, as well as any complications that may arise for either. There is also the ability to manage the transition to a Caesarean section and to actually conduct the surgical procedure. These manikins have the same capabilities as the non-maternal models.

Two fully equipped operating theaters, that also function as intensive care units, are designed to allow interprofessional teams to care for simulated patients. This includes preparation for surgery, induction of anesthesia, surgical procedures, and postoperative management. The rooms also function as intensive care unit patient rooms to provide complex critical patient care.

Examples of activities include interprofessional team training of the management of the surgical and intensive care patients, including a multitude of intraoperative complications that can be programmed into the computer software. The simulators are designed to work with all the equipment normally found in the operating theater and intensive care unit.
