Jackson College’s Simulation & Innovation Center transforms medical education.
Located in Justin Whiting Hall, Jackson College’s Simulation Innovation Center enhances experiential learning for students and ultimately, improves patient care. It allows current and future healthcare professionals to practice with high-fidelity manikins and other specialized medical resources. This valuable teaching center may also be used by healthcare, school and community groups.
Live Simulation
Demonstrating what a real-life scenario can be like for healthcare professionals, Jackson College’s nursing and health sciences-related program faculty presented a live simulation using JC facilities that showed how to care for a critically ill patient.
