Simulation Center

UAG School of Medicine Healthcare Simulation Center helps the students to mirror real-life inpatient spaces, operating rooms, and ambulatory settings. Simulation-based education is a powerful tool for reinforcing clinical knowledge, improving team communication, and teaching decision-making skills.

These experiential immersive environment promote critical thinking and teamwork, as students interact with advanced, full-body simulation mannequins that provide real-time physiological responses and feedback, making it a powerful tool for hands-on training before, during and after learners are introduced to real clinical settings and patients.
