About
With 17,235 square feet, the Center for Simulation and Experiential Learning (SAEL) is located across the river at the College of Nursing's satellite campus. A multi-purpose design that includes a large area for skills training, rooms for debriefing/multi-use, patient simulator rooms and clinical exam rooms. All patient simulator and clinical exam rooms have video and audio capture capabilities with web streaming delivery.
The college's immersive simulation center was designed to employ advanced simulation techniques to replicate clinical scenarios. Spanning the entire second level of the facility, it features several key training areas:
- Acute Care Suite - mimics hospital rooms and intensive care units.
- Community Apartment - simulates a home environment for home health scenarios.
- Primary Care Suite - where students practice patient care and communication.
- Skills Suite - where students develop and refine clinical skills. All four areas of the center provide immersive, hands-on learning experiences for students, preparing them for real-world health care settings.
SAEL was accredited by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare in 2020, recognized as a leader in delivering educational excellence through simulation.
Center Orientation
Orienting faculty and students to the simulation lab is critical for understanding how simulated events are accomplished. We provide hands-on-training on how manikins, equipment, and software is used. Although live support is always at hand, we also provide orientation material on Blackboard Ultra to help students and faculty refresh their memories before they enter the center on the days they simulate.
