Real-world experience without the real-world risk
Located within the Health Sciences Building, the IU Interprofessional Simulation Center is designed to give learners new opportunities to learn and practice in a setting that emulates a real-world environment. One key learning opportunity is to practice life-like cases as an interprofessional team, learning with, from, and about each other as they approach the simulated patient’s issues.
A collaboration between the IU School of Nursing, IU School of Medicine, and IU Health, the 12,000-square-foot center allows educators to design custom simulations that range from hands-on assessments (using manikins with computer-controlled simulator technology or Standardized Patient actors) to role-playing in a variety of patient and family care scenarios.
The Center features manikins from newborn to adult and includes a birthing manikin. Additional simulators include task trainers that focus on specific skills.
