The Sorrell Clinical Skills Lab's simulation rooms are equipped with two video cameras and a microphone that provides digital video and audio recording with playback capability for teaching and critiquing students. Two rooms have glass windows for observation.
An intercom system aids communication between faculty and students. One of the large rooms can be used as a simulated operating room or as a laboratory for technical instruction in which virtual reality is used to conduct clinical skills testing.
16 Clinical Skills Rooms
- 10 large simulated physician office rooms in which a group of 10 can have demonstrations or discussions
- 6 regular-sized simulated physician office rooms
- 2 of the 6 clinical skills rooms have one-way viewing options
- A computer outside each exam room that allows students to log-in to a sophisticated audio/video retrieval system
- Otoscope/othalmoscope, blood pressure and thermometer mounted on the walls of each room
- Functioning exam table
- Two high-definition computer activated cameras in each room
- A computer located inside each room so standardized patients can evaluate student performance electronically
2 High-Fidelity Simulation Rooms
- Two private hospital rooms with functioning breathable air and suctioning
- State of the art hospital beds
- Two high-definition cameras in each room
- Area for debriefing with a 52” monitor with video playback
- .
Various manikins available including:
- Laerdal SimMan and SimMan 3G high-fidelity simulators: Their eyes react to light source,manikin measures effectiveness of CPR, they can breathe, bleed, convulse,urinate, and speak; have an anatomically correct throat area for intubation; and radial, carotid and femoral pulses. Simulators can be programmed to represent any disease or condition, and are programmable to react to treatment performed by students
- Noelle Birthing Simulator: can give breech and normal deliveries, approximately every 30-40 minutes.
- Gaumard Neo-Nat Baby "Hal"
- BabySim-Laerdal Baby Simulator: does everything the adult manikin can do, but is the size of a 6 month old. Simulates loss of oxygen by bluing of the lips.
High-fidelity simulation control room:
- Allows for computer control and changing conditions of manikins with student knowledge of changes being made
- Allows for observation of simulation without distraction of being in the room
- Allows controller to “speak for the manikin” through wireless microphones
Hospital Lab
- 6-Bed hospital suite
- Fully-functioning breathable air and suctioning
- Actual patient room light setup
- State-of-the-art hospital beds
- Non-functioning shower, bath and stool for training students to assist patients with mobility issues
- Two high-fidelity cameras that can capture video from any area in the hospital lab
- Bedside computers which will be able to access simulated patient data
- Patient transfer gurney and wheel-chairs for patient transfer teaching moments
