The facility will be named The Harold A. Spratt Center for Simulation and Clinical Learning, after the gift from philanthropist Harold A. Spratt that made the center possible.
The 8,000-square-foot center will include life-like, high-tech mannequins designed to simulate patients with real illness and actors trained specifically for clinical simulation, known as standardized patients. Medical teams will then rotate through various clinical scenarios to master skills before using them on actual patients.
