Mathias J. Brunner Instructional Technology Center
Simulation Technology

The labs were designed to accommodate 18 physical exam bays, with bedside computing terminals including high-speed Internet connections and access to multimedia applications, including digitized videos. A section of this room is also dedicated to a virtual learning area  for small group learning and a large screen projection area.

A "wet lab" has been designed, including assessment and diagnostic equipment. In addition, a virtual reality Intravenous Training System, by HT Medical Systems, Inc., is available for new learners and those who wish to refresh already learned skills.

Highlights:

  • Sim Man Universal Patient Simulator, Sim Man Product Specifications, by Medical Plastics Laboratory (MPL) – designed for use as a tool to teaching psychomotor skills as well as cognitive and critical thinking pathways. It can be used for education in crisis management of both typical and non-typical difficult airways, ECG recognition and identification, defibrillation, synchronized cardioversion, interpretation and treatment modalities of lethal and malignant cardiac related situations, assessing blood pressure, and the auscultation, recognition, and treatment processes of a variety of heart, breath, bowel and vocal sounds. It is useful in the education of both individuals and teams of patient care providers.
  • Adult, Pediatric, & Infant MegaCode ACLS Trainer, by MPL – full body lifelike manikin designed to realistically simulate advanced airway scenarios; intravenous therapy; cardiac debrillation; measurement of non-invasive blood pressure; and auscultation and recognition of heart, breath and abdominal sounds.
