The College of Nursing has been providing opportunities for students to practice skills since the early 1960’s in various degrees of task training and simulation. In 2015, the Clinical Simulation and Learning Center (CSLC) was formally established in order to provide students with some of the best possible real-world training simulations in the country.
The CSLC has a total of nine full-time faculty members across two departments - four in simulation (including one CHSE), five in the skills lab (including one CHSE) and three fulltime support staff - and is accredited by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare.
The College of Nursing demonstrates its ongoing commitment to enhancing student practice through state-of-the-art, multipurpose facilities. These include rooms that are dedicated to simulation (low and high fidelity task trainers, manikins, standardized participants, and virtual reality), and class rooms used skills lab and other purposes. These spaces are located in the College of Nursing, and Multidisciplinary Building (MDS).
