MAHEC’s 15,000-square-foot Simulation Center is located on MAHEC's Biltmore Campus and features operating, trauma, labor and delivery, task training, and clinic rooms, as well as, conference rooms for debriefing. Our simulation center provides medical professionals and students with the opportunity to practice real-life hospital, in-office, and emergency scenarios using a variety of simulation modalities for experiential learning including high fidelity manikins, task trainers, laparoscopic surgery, endoscopy/bronchoscopy, point-of-care ultrasound, virtual reality simulators and standardized patients.
This interactive simulation experience created to mitigate the effects of mistrust in patient-provider relationships within the Black community. Each of the three sessions are separated by specialty to ensure participants are met with patients who are similar to those they encounter on a daily basis. In these sessions, participants will individually work through two patient encounters. Join us for a tour of MAHEC’s state of the art Simulation Center and in-depth sessions on communication, patient simulation experiences, and resident experiences. All sessions are designed to provide further education and demonstrate the Sim Center experience for both patients and providers. The pre-con Simulation day will end with a group debrief to further develop interpersonal skills. After completing this simulation experience, participants will be able to care for the Black Patient in any healthcare setting.
