Practice
makes
perfect
Simulation lab enhances
clinical education
Simulation-based training helps
health care professionals practice the
clinical skills they need to deliver safe,
quality care to real patients. Realistic
simulation allows learning and practice
in a safe, risk-free environment—
without involving real patients.
Jacksonville State University’s
Nursing Simulation Center and
Respiratory Therapy Lab is located
in the Brookstone Physician Center
at Regional Medical Center in
Jacksonville. The 3,700-square-foot
space resembles a medical facility
and includes space for six patient
simulations. A multifunctional room
can be a home-care setting, an
operating room, a delivery room and
more.
Anatomically correct human patient
simulators include three adults, a
child, an infant and one maternal/
fetal delivery simulator. With eyes
that dilate and lungs that breathe, the
simulators mimic illness and injury
and respond to care, from seizures
and pneumonia to childbirth and
trauma. Students gain critical thinking
skills and confidence and improve
performance in real-life events.
