The Healthcare Simulation Center (HSC) by Jacksonville University provides learners with invaluable experiential learning. The HSC provides a safe and conducive educational environment that utilizes simulation to create a realistic learning experience for learners. This includes the incorporation of situational awareness, culturally diverse interpersonal communication skills, teamwork, clinical assessment, critical thinking, best practice, and skill proficiency.

We opened the Center in September of 2019 in Jacksonville, FL with a mission to reduce medical errors through cutting-edge, collaborative training designed to improve patient care. Built to resemble a hospital emergency room, the recently expanded 31,443-square-foot facility offers hospital bay training stations, HoloLens Augmented Fidelity, high-fidelity and mid-fidelity across the life span manikins, task trainers, debriefing rooms, collaborative flexible learning spaces which includes 13 classrooms, an executive conference room, and a 2,569-square-foot event conference space with state-of-the-art recording and presentation technology. The Center brings the community and emergency management healthcare professionals together for training that is uniquely designed with the HSC team for each specialty to improve care and patient outcomes.
