Center for Healthcare Education and Simulation (CHES)

Center for Healthcare Education and Simulation (CHES) offers learning experiences that take place in a mock patient care environment. Simulation rooms are designed and equipped to replicate a multitude of environments such as a patient room in a hospital or a clinic, or a resident room of a nursing home or skilled care facility. Full sized adult, a birthing mother, child, and infant mannequins can be programmed to replicate patient conditions and physiologic responses. Task trainers are used to practicing specific skills and technique.

Patient actors and case-based material are used in conjunction with simulated and interactive and methodologies. A control room allows instructors to monitor participants and record sessions. Two audio-visual equipped classrooms provide space for a live feed simulation as well as debriefing and discussion.
