The Clinical Simulation Centers are training and assessment centers that include the following simulation technologies:

• Standardized Patients (SPs)
• Full-size electormechanical patient simulators
• Computer assisted instruction (CAI)
• Audio/visual equipment for simulation recording

Standardized Patients (SPs) - individuals trained to simulate medical conditions accurately and repeatedly in a "standardized" way

Electomechanical Patient Simulators - life-size plastic manikins (adult, child, and baby) that "breathe", "speak" through a microphone with trainees, have palpable pulses, a heartbeat (normal and abnormal) and other signs and symptons allowing the user to simulate human physiology

Each Clinical Simulation Center includes:

• One Intensive Care room
• Two Obstetric rooms
• Two Medical/Surgical rooms
• Two Pediatric rooms
• Four Standardized Patient rooms
• Two Interview rooms
• An apartment for homecare/community based/mental health simulation
• Two debriefing areas
• Simulation control room
• Basic Life Support training room
• Reception and staff office space
