Welcome to the College of Health Sciences Simulation Center

The College of Health Sciences Simulation Center is located on the third floor of the Norco Building at Boise State University. It is a state-of-the-art facility that includes an interactive six bed suite with three debriefing rooms, a centrally located technology control room, and six high-fidelity manikins. Additionally, a digital video/audio data capture system is available to provide efficient management of digitized video recordings, and easy retrieval of indexed videos for debriefing. The Simulation Center gives learners the opportunity to participate in designed learning activities, and assessments in a safe, controlled environment. This allows learners to practice skills, decision making and the application of critical thinking.

In addition to the Simulation Center suite, learners have access to a 12-bed practice lab and the Learning Resource Center (LRC).

Community partners can contact us at SimulationCenter@boisestate.edu for information on use of the College of Health Sciences Simulation Center. We support community engagement and collaboration in simulation opportunities that include facilitated simulations, inter-professional scenarios and partnered research activities.

“Simulation will be a key component in the fundamental transformation of medical and nursing education. Simulation is becoming a specialty with its own body of literature, certifications, and organizations.”
