Thompson Sim Center
The Camilla Bessey Thompson And Paul D. Thompson, M.D., Clinical Skills And Simulation Center—also known as the Sim Center—is a 15,000-square-foot training facility located on the third floor of the BioMed Building. It includes a 50-person classroom, 16 simulated exam rooms, four simulation spaces equipped with advance computerized mannequins that display signs and distress in realistic ways, and three observation/monitoring rooms. These types of facilities and tools are invaluable to learners, ensuring they gain hands-on experience in a wide and diverse range of scenarios.
