Bringing Learning to Life
iEXCEL is a transformative model for health care education headquartered in the Davis Global Center at UNMC
Our Mission
The iEXCEL program improves human performance and effectiveness in health care through the adoption of high-fidelity simulation, interprofessional collaboration and experiential learning technologies.
Davis Global Center
The Dr. Edwin G. & Dorothy Balbach Davis Global Center is a highly advanced clinical simulation facility purposefully designed to foster the practice of patient care in highly-functioning and effective interprofessional teams. The 192,000 sq.ft. center is made up of five distinct levels that work together to create a safe and innovative learning environment.

iEXCEL boosts 2026 statewide stroke conference
UNMC hosted the 2026 statewide stroke conference, this year titled “Future of Stroke Care: Balancing Innovation, Access, and Sustainability,” on Sept. 18 at the Davis Global Center and three other locations throughout the state, with conference organizers once again leveraging the simulation and communication technology of the iEXCEL Program to maximize the conference’s statewide impact.
Dr. Boyers remembered for passion, simulation expertise
Pamela Boyers, PhD, a medical educator who spearheaded UNMC’s efforts in interprofessional simulation education for more than a decade, died on Wednesday (Oct. 7). Dr. Boyers began at UNMC in 2015 and quickly used her extensive knowledge and experience in simulation and education to build UNMC’s Interprofessional Experiential Center for Enduring Learning, or iEXCEL, initiative.
Multidisciplinary event designed to advance skull-base care
Before performing complex skull-base surgery on patients, trainees at Nebraska Medicine and UNMC can practice the procedure dozens of times in a risk-free, highly realistic environment. That's the advantage of advanced simulation training, which recently took center stage during the Advanced Endoscopic Sinus & Ventral Skull-Base Surgery Course at the Davis Global Center.
