Overview<\/h1><\/p>\n

The CVS Health Interdisciplinary Health Delivery Laboratory<\/strong> uses healthcare simulation to promote excellence in teaching, research, and healthcare delivery. The state-of-the-art hands-on simulation helps enhance student and group knowledge and responsiveness when practiced in realistic surroundings. These introductions to real-world situations help improve effective communication, collaborative teamwork, and situational management. The simulation lab provide students with an ideal platform for meaningful interdisciplinary collaboration, knowledge application, and skill development.<\/p>\n

Medical simulation is an immersive educational resource changing the face of education for all health care professionals<\/blockquote><\/div><\/section><\/p>\n

Education for Quality Patient-Centered Care<\/h3>\n

The skill and commitment of numerous health professionals is required for optimal healthcare delivery in the United States. In many settings, improvements in patient outcomes and reduction of medical errors remain elusive. Alternative methods of educating students entering the health professions must be explored to ensure all health professionals embrace and deliver quality patient-centered care.<\/p>\n

Our Mission<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Interdisciplinary Health Care Delivery Laboratory\u2019s mission is founded upon the University\u2019s guiding principles of a commitment to \u201cresearch, scholarship, and creative work\u201d where real-world \u201cimpact\u201d and \u201cinnovation\u201d remain the central focus. Our working model fits well with the University\u2019s vision where  all students \u201cdemonstrate models of learning and discovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

We successfully use medical simulation to engage the 21st century learner to bridge the gap between the basic and clinical sciences.<\/p>\n

The types and forms of medical simulation used for educational purposes includes physiological-based high-fidelity simulators, low-fidelity mannequins, standardized patients, and even virtual reality. Our facility supports standardized patient actors, structured clinical encounters, and communication skill-building between health care workers and patients and their families.<\/p>\n

Teaching<\/h1><\/p>\n

The simulation lab faculty use healthcare simulation to promote excellence in simulation-based education and teaching.  With over a decade of experience in healthcare simulation, we are recognized experts in developing and integrating accurately modeled high-fidelity human patient simulations for the health professions. <\/p>\n

Ongoing projects include creating sustainable interdisciplinary high-fidelity simulation-based curricula and programs for the university and regional healthcare community.<\/p>\n

Doctor of Pharmacy Students<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We have integrated our intensive, immersive simulation-based experiences for Doctor of Pharmacy students with our organ systems-based curriculum. <\/p>\n
