At 15,000 square feet, the Camilla Bessey Thompson and Paul D. Thompson, M.D., Clinical Skills and Simulation Center at Tufts University School of Medicine 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. The Thompson Sim Center will serve thousands of Tufts medical and PA students—and, through them, bring quality care to millions of patients.
