Two medical students are treating a dummy in a simulated patient room

Clinical Simulation Center

The University of Michigan Clinical Simulation Center (CSC), a unit of the Department of Learning Health Sciences, is an innovative instructional environment and learning laboratory providing challenging, immersive simulation training for students, physicians, nurses and other health care professionals at the University of Michigan.

Two laptop check-in stations are mounted to the wall outside the Clinical Simulation Center

Learners check in here in the iSim entrance at the Towsley Location.  Both Clinical Simulation Center locations offer an iSim room available 24/7 and equipped with a variety of independent simulators to practice skills or complete training modules.

The classroom at CSC Med Sci II is a versatile instruction space that can be configured to accommodate a variety of simulation training stations.

Empty entrance hallway leading to the Clinical Simulation Center with lockers on one side of the hallway

The entrance hall for the CSC Med Sci II is lined with lockers for training groups to deposit personal items during their stay.

Two learners are in a simulated labor room with a dummy in labor on the patient bed

The SimMom in this Labor and Delivery room has a similar view as a real mom giving birth at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital nearby.

Empty control room with 3 screens and dummy patient viewable in the next room

Control room where Simulation Technicians initiate training scenarios, monitor learners and become “the patient’s voice” relaying symptoms in real time.

Biomedical Engineering students collaborate in the CSC 3D & Innovations Lab at to create novel teaching tools, custom skills trainers and simulators.

Room with two tables with chairs facing digital screens

Debriefing rooms allow training teams and classes to analyze their simulation exercises.

In this replica hospital room, the"windows" change to simulate day or night.

Sign on the wall reads Shhh Patients are healing, please enter the unit quietly and limit hallway conversations

Even the hallways mimic the hospital signage.
