Program Info

The MountainView Hospital Simulation Center offers medical students, nurses, interns, residents and hospital clinical staff the opportunity to train in a virtual patient care environment using simulated patients and sophisticated technology. The center contains overhead cameras that tape the medical team's actions, so leaders can provide feedback after the simulated training. The MVHSC plays a key role in maintaining patient safety and ensuring the operational readiness of all hospital staff. The MVHSC is comprised of 2 fully equipped patient rooms. Rooms can be staged for any number of situations using standardized patients as well as high fidelity manikins. Both rooms utilize state of the art video and audio recording. The simulation suite also has a skills lab for task and procedural training, a conference debriefing room with audio visual capabilities for use in debriefing as well as a control room to centralize simulation production.
