Learning Resource Center

Mission and Services

The mission of the Learning Resource Center is to enhance student learning in a safe, innovative environment while promoting competence in all aspects of healthcare professional practice. Faculty involved in simulated learning experiences offer constructive feedback on individual and team performance during debriefing sessions, empowering students to self-analyze their progress through the reflective process. All simulated learning experiences are carefully designed by faculty in collaboration with the Coordinator for Simulation and Interdisciplinary Practice, ensuring that students receive comprehensive, high-quality training.

Students and other healthcare professionals can participate as simulated patients (SPs), enriching their learning experience. Volunteer in the School of Nursing’s Learning Resource Center Simulation Lab to share your insights and hands-on experiences, helping to build a supportive network that fosters growth and confidence in future nurses.

Advanced Simulation Spaces & Patient Care Technology

Our state-of-the-art learning facilities include three patient examination rooms, a health assessment lab, a nursing skills lab, four high-fidelity simulation labs, a simulation home environment, and two encounter labs. Students have access to advanced training tools, including nine mid-fidelity and seven high-fidelity human patient simulators, representing various patient populations such as birthing, infant, toddler, child, adult critical care, adult medical-surgical, and adult health assessment. Additionally, our facilities feature a Student Auscultation Simulator, an Automated Medication Dispensing System, and a Simulated Electronic Health Record to enhance hands-on learning and clinical preparedness. Students also have access to the Virtual Cadaver Lab, providing an immersive, interactive anatomy learning experience to support their understanding of human physiology and pathology.
