The campus is invited to get a look at four high-tech Simulation in Motion Nebraska trucks (SIM-NE) during an open house today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the parking lot on the northwest side of the College of Public Health.
UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, M.D., will host a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. on the second floor of the Maurer Center for Public Health.
The open house will give the campus an opportunity to see and go inside the trucks before they’re stationed in Norfolk, Lincoln, Kearney and Scottsbluff, where UNMC has nursing college divisions. In Kearney, UNMC has both nursing and allied health programs.
The customized trucks were funded by a $5.5 million grant from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust to provide training opportunities on life-saving procedures for rural emergency medical providers and hospitals.
