Mathias J. Brunner Instructional Technology Center

State-of-the-Science

In a tribute to her late husband, Lillian Brunner, Ph.D., an internationally acclaimed nurse has made a contribution to the School of Nursing creating the Mathias J. Brunner Instructional Center as a personal and professional collaboration between Nursing and Engineering. This interactive learning center represents a commitment to education and life long learning for nursing students and professional nurses. Here, participants can engage in innovative learning experiences through practice, simulation and evaluation with the goal of providing excellent patient care.

Students and professional nurses involved in primary care, acute care and critical care programs, have access to Internet resources and software applications via bedside computing in the lab, in addition to advanced care technology such as cardiac monitors, ventilators intra-aortic balloon pumps and patient care simulators. A host of companies, including Medical Plastics, Datascope, Mediq and Agilent Technologies, made generous donations in support of this project. A Virtual Reality Learning Center is housed within the lab offering an Intravenous Simulator purchased jointly by the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and The School of Nursing.
