The UMCSC is a state of the art simulation facility consisting of four large rooms which include a Bench-top Training Room (Wet Lab), 4 bay Human Patient Simulation Lab, Task Training Room and a Debriefing / Conference Room, as well as staff offices, reception area, support and storage space. All of the rooms are flexible space, fully equipped for audio/visual recording, presentation and debriefing. Wireless internet is accessible throughout the facility.
The Bench-top Training Room (Wet Lab) is a 1,100 square foot space equipped with 11 height-adjustable tables and seating capacity for 44 people. The space is designed to accommodate use of human cadaveric and/or plastinated parts, animal parts, bench top simulators and simulation related classroom presentations. Multiple electrical outlets are available at all 11 stations. Refrigerator/freezer space, full size scrub sink, and small instrument storage space is also available.
The Human Patient Simulation Lab space houses all of our manikin based human patient simulators. The space consists of 4 fully equipped bays which are flexible and can be set up as an O.R. w/anesthesia machine, trauma bay, ICU, ped ICU, labor and delivery and /or standard patient room. The room can be easily partitioned via automated roll-down dividers for simultaneous group functions. All bays are equipped with Berchtold or Skytron lights, appropriate stretchers or Berchtold O.R. table, wall mounted oxygen and suction, defibrillators, crash carts and individual bay audio/visual recording capability. The simulators typically used in this space include the M.E.T.I. Human Patient Simulator (adult and pediatric), SimMan, SimBaby, Noelle birthing simulator, baby HAL, Harvey, MegaCode Kelly and ALS Trainers.
The Task Training Room is space designated for our computer based task trainers. The room is flexible, with multiple electrical outlets, and can be easily partitioned via automated roll-down dividers for multiple group functions. An outside, 24 hour key-card entrance is available for after hours practice with the simulators. Simulators located in this room typically include, but are not limited to, the laparoscopic box trainers, LapSim, LapMentor, UroMentor, HysteroSim, EndoscopicSim, VIST vascular interventional trainer, video-Mac, FLS stations and laptop computers for simulation software exercises.
The Debriefing/Conference Room is a standard classroom with seating and tables for 24 people. The space is equipped for audio/visual presentations and may also be used as overflow space for large simulation based activities.
