Simulation Center

Each of the center’s 11 training areas are designed to reflect the realities encountered in actual care settings, and is fully functional. The center is a contiguous system designed to simulate the patient flow process with a pre-hospital room, emergency room, operating room, intensive care unit, obstetric operation room, neonatal intensive care room, hospital room, training room and pharmacy. Two of the simulation rooms are connected to the command center separated by a one-way mirror with large televisions to provide the live-stream observer participants with additional angles. Simulation sessions can be recorded and are immediately available for playback in the simulation center's multimedia conference room.

Kern Medical houses a state-of-the-art Simulation Center, designed for learners to practice and further enhance their knowledge, skills and experience through replication of a variety of scenarios in the healthcare environment. Learners are able to develop clinical competence, practice skills, and develop confidence to transform and improve patient outcomes in a safe learning space.

We train a wide array of professionals throughout the healthcare continuum, including medical students, residents and fellows, staff throughout all clinical areas, as well as our surrounding community. Clinicians and educators partner to create innovative learning experiences and evaluations. Utilizing the web-based recording system, students can review videos, perform peer and self-assessments, set learning goals and receive feedback from faculty. Providing learners with realistic patient scenarios and clinical problem-solving challenges assures appropriate development of clinical skills, and ultimately improves whole patient care.

At the Simulation Center, each simulation includes a group pre- brief and debrief with an emphasis on promoting a culture of safety and a focus on: • Quality of care

• Performance improvement • Interdisciplinary relationships • Best practices

The Simulation Center is an integral component of our clinical clerkships, offering simulation and standardized patient experiences.
