The Knox Regional Health Science and Simulation Center is designed to train healthcare professionals using comprehensive simulations and is expected to cost $75 million. It will give local students hands-on training and connect them with clinical opportunities at Covenant Health, the report said.
“Educating the healthcare professionals of tomorrow is a vital part of caring for our communities, and we’re very proud of our collaborative clinical training initiatives with more than a dozen colleges and universities, including Roane State,” Jim VanderSteeg, president and CEO of Covenant Health, said in a news release.
Once the budget for the project is approved by the state Legislature, , Roane State, Covenant Health and TCAT Knoxville plan to have the facility completed within three years.
