Simulation Center
How simulation training translates to quality care
The Simulation Center at Eisenhower Health offers students an invaluable opportunity to hone in on their clinical skills and decision-making abilities through immersive, realistic patient scenarios. This plays an integral role in shaping the next generation of exceptional Eisenhower Health providers.
Learn and Practice on the Most Advanced Medical Training Technology
Our 2,500 square feet space is equipped with state-of-the-art, immersive technology where students and medical professionals can train and learn in a controlled environment with:
In health care, essential critical thinking skills are paramount, particularly in time-sensitive scenarios.
We aim to develop simulations that authentically replicate these hospital challenges, providing optimal training for diverse participants, including medical students, residents, and fellows. Our commitment is to uphold the highest standards of care, acknowledging the trust our community places in us for their well-being. Embracing this responsibility, we are dedicated to providing support in their moments of need."

Benefits of Simulation Training
Hands-on Training Without Risk
Experience real-life situations and symptoms in a space where you can safely make mistakes, learn from those mistakes and try again.
Instant Performative Feedback
Allows the team to debrief after a training session to assess decisions made, what went right or wrong and gain confidence in what to do next time.
Train as a Team
Work collaboratively as a team and gain key competencies, such as communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and leadership.
Practice Any Number of Scenarios
A variety of medical problems—from the common to the unusual—can be recreated allowing you to gain experience.
Our Simulation Center Capabilities
AI-Conversational Gaumard Manikins
High-fidelity simulators that respond to voice commands, sweat, bleed, cry, urinate, and converse with learners in real time using AI-generated clinical responses.
Advanced A/V Capture
Audio-visual capture and playback for video-based debriefing, performance review, and longitudinal learner assessment.
Community & EMS Training
Regular off-campus training for paramedics, EMS agencies, and other regional community partners — fellows lead and grow these relationships.
Procedural Task Trainers
Airway, central line, chest tube, lumbar puncture, paracentesis, suturing, and ultrasound-guided procedure phantoms.
In-situ Capability
Mobile simulation cart and A/V kit for in-situ training in the live ED, ICU, OR, and inpatient floors.
Interprofessional Reach
Serves the entire Eisenhower Health system across critical care, emergency medicine, neonatal intensive care, OBGYN, and beyond.
Four Clinical Environments
The Simulation Lab helps us prioritize patient care and safety
Our Simulation Lab uses immersive clinical replicas to enable future physicians to strengthen instincts and expertise with no patient risk, building practical knowledge through hands-on repetition with guided assessment to apply these skills adeptly in real clinical encounters later on as practicing doctors.
The Emergency Medicine Simulation Fellowship
Our 12-month, post-residency training program that prepares board-eligible/board-certified emergency physicians to design, lead, and evaluate simulation-based education at every level — from medical students to attending faculty, and out into the wider community of paramedics and EMS partners we train. Train one-on-one with the program's founder and Medical Director — a level of access and influence that's nearly impossible to find at established programs.
