Clinical Simulation Center: State-of-the-Art Technology/ Innovative Learning Experiences

The Windsor University School of Medicine features a state-of-the-art Clinical Simulation Center designed to teach and engage students in real-world medical settings. This center promotes interactive learning through medical simulations, helping students enhance their clinical skills. The simulation center includes observation rooms for virtual monitoring and teaching scenarios, high-fidelity mannequins, and 10 clinical encounter rooms. Each room presents clinical cases with different parameters, allowing students to practice and learn in realistic settings. The facility uses various simulation modalities, including standardized patients, task trainers, and high-fidelity simulations.

The clinical simulation center provides realistic simulated learning opportunities to prepare students for real-world patient care situations in environments like emergency/trauma rooms, operating rooms, and inpatient wards. It also serves as a hub for developing innovative curricula and conducting research in medical education.

The facility supports the standardized patient program, which plays a central role in providing clinical exposure to students during their basic sciences program. Standardized Patients (SPs) are crucial in medical education to teach and evaluate clinical performance and communication skills of medical students, residents and students of other health professions. With a focus on ACGME core competencies, the USMLE Step II Clinical Skills Exam, and patient safety, the clinical simulation center ensures that students acquire the necessary skills, knowledge, and competencies for effective clinical practice.

The clinical simulation center includes around ten patient examination stations, all networked and equipped with modern audiovisual tools and computers. These stations simulate a hospital ward environment that meets global standards. There is also a new student clinic within the building.We are excited to introduce students to this innovative and challenging environment.
