Mount Sinai Phillips School of Nursing

In our state-of-the-art Clinical Simulation Center, students gain experience through a combination of high fidelity and low fidelity simulators. These simulations develop skills in a powerful learning experience—one in which the student is challenged to make decisions in real time. Simulations mimic real life situations and use artificial intelligence and student interactions to create a new experience every time. Students are able to experience the consequences or outcomes of their decisions in a safe environment.

The Clinical Simulation Center houses three virtual settings: inpatient, primary care, and a home care situation in an apartment. The inpatient setting is equipped with adult, birthing, pediatric, and neonatal simulators. The primary care setting is equipped with examination tables and a simulated emergency room bay, for use with standardized patients (actors). Each encounter area has video capture capabilities, which allow students to engage in a debriefing session with faculty in a specially designed seminar suite.

A Welcoming Environment for Learning

Our learning spaces are designed to facilitate clinical skills while providing a holistic, supportive environment for our students. There are wellness areas for meditation, taking medications privately, or to breastfeed. There are areas for socialization with fellow students and faculty. It’s a welcoming space, designed to help students perform at their best.
