Becker’s Healthcare recently recognized 93 hospitals and health systems with exceptional simulation and education programs, including UNMC’s iEXCEL program.
iEXCEL supports UNMC students and faculty, as well as Nebraska Medicine health care professionals, as they sharpen skills specific to their level of training and disciplines. Headquartered in the Dr. Edwin G. & Dorothy Balbach Davis Global Center on UNMC’s Omaha campus, the center includes replicated clinics, hospital, ambulatory and home care units so the transfer of care can be practiced — from home to hospital and back.
The center also features the first holographic theatre in any academic institution in the world alongside cutting-edge emerging technologies to facilitate research and business development opportunities. Serving as an “innovation hub,” iEXCEL staff work with faculty and health care professionals to improve human performance and effectiveness in health care.
Individuals have access to a wide range of highly advanced simulation-based technologies to enhance the understanding of complex medical anatomy, physiology and medical equipment. Using 3D imagery for immersive and experiential learning, iEXCEL improves education and care outcomes by enhancing safety of patients, staff and students through precision training. By providing a secure space for hands-on learning and practice, learners gain the confidence and expertise needed to deliver the highest standard of care.
Since opening March 1, 2020, iEXCEL has trained more than 190,000 learners in realistic, controlled environments that closely replicate real-world clinical scenarios and hosted more than 60,000 visitors from around the nation and globe.
