Richard A. Henson Medical Simulation Center
The Simulation Center is the only free-standing, collaborative, multidisciplinary health care pre-professional experiential learning facility on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. It is housed within the College of Health and Human Services (CHHS) at Salisbury University.
Our Facility
The facility features a 600-square-foot anatomy learning lab that contains five virtual cadaver dissection tables and a 9,000-square-foot flexible, clinical practice environment that replicates real-world clinical settings that include:
- Medical/Surgical Adult Hospital Suite
- Pediatric Hospital Suite
- Labor Delivery Recovery Postpartum Suite
- Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
- Outpatient Pre-Operative Suite
- Nurses’ Station with a Pyxis Automated Medication Dispensing System
- Inpatient or Outpatient Mental Health Treatment Suite
- Emergency Department Suite
- Home Health Suite
The use of advanced robotic patients, Standardized Patients (highly trained actors) and Standardized Patients wearing sophisticated prosthetic simulators offer learners the opportunity to care for simulated patients who exhibit a wide variety of disease conditions, illnesses and injuries. These simulations, in combination with structured pre-briefing and debriefing sessions and the opportunity to review each encounter via video recordings, offer learners a rich educational experience.
