Simulation Center

Sim Lab

At the core of our simulation initiatives lies manakin-based experiences that faithfully replicate real-life patient encounters within the realm of medicine. Within these immersive encounters, students not only harness and expand their clinical knowledge and skills but also transform perceived weaknesses into strengths. This journey propels them toward the realization of their dreams as compassionate and proficient medical care providers.
