Simulation training and continuing education provides students and professionals alike opportunities for learning life-saving procedures, developing interprofessional communication skills and using new technologies before practicing in patient care environments.
Students studying healthcare at WVU have access to state-of-the-art simulation technology, like high fidelity manikins and an operating room, to ensure they are safer and smarter before encountering patients in everyday and critical care situations.
The Standardized Patient Program at WVU provides students with an understanding of something technology can’t replicate – the human experience, letting the students know how they make a patient feel and describing how their behavior affected the patient.
