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:
The center spans 2,500 square feet in the newly transformed health sciences building, featuring cutting-edge resources such as high-fidelity manikins, task trainers, and an advanced audio-visual capture and playback system.
The center offers a variety of simulation programs covering critical care, emergency medicine, neonatal intensive care, OBGYN, and more. Medical student and resident electives are available. These programs include high-risk procedural workshops and research initiatives, ensuring participants receive comprehensive training.
The center focuses on interprofessional development, integrating various scenarios into ongoing simulation activities throughout the year. This commitment ensures that participants, including medical students, residents, and fellows, receive the latest simulation techniques and technologies.
The center collaborates with outside tertiary centers, such as Children's Hospital of LA and Seattle Children's, for research and best practice guidelines. This collaboration extends educational and assessment opportunities to a wide range of healthcare professionals affiliated with Eisenhower Health.
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.
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.
