Patient Simulation Lab



In the Patient Simulation Lab, students learn essential clinical and surgical skills on simulators that closely resemble an actual human body. Under the watchful eye of faculty members, students can hone important techniques, learn to work as a team in an emergency and see the results of their actions – all without any risk to patients.
