The Shelden Clinical Simulation Center houses some of the most advanced simulation equipment and facilities for medical training.
In 2011, the center launched a Mobile Simulation unit in response to the need for interactive and high-tech training resources in rural areas.
Services
The Mobile Sim unit provides an opportunity to take simulation training on the road. On board the 30-foot vehicle are four computerized patient mannequins and virtual reality devices with the ability to simulate more than 110 medical scenarios. Mobile Sim’s trained staff provides on-site setup and assistance for each session, and patient actors can be employed to make learning experiences even more realistic and effective. Mobile Sim is also equipped with two cameras to record participants and data storage devices to capture a variety of information from training sessions. The eight-hour Mobile Simulation Orientation class is included in the initial cost.
