The NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island (N.Y.) Simulation Center, housed in a 5,000-square-foot facility adjacent to the NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine, provides advanced clinical training for physicians, nurses, medical students and first responders. The center, operational since 2013 and relocated to its current facility in 2015, offers high-tech simulated training environments, including a multipurpose hospital room adaptable as an operating room, ICU or trauma bay, and patient exam rooms equipped with standardized patients and audio-visual capabilities. Key training focuses include technical skills, such as central line insertion, paracentesis and IV placement, as well as communication, teamwork and patient safety. Supporting NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine’s mission, the center enhances educational excellence through experiential learning and competency-based interprofessional programs. Additionally, faculty-led debrief sessions provide purposeful practice and feedback to promote professionalism, clinical reasoning and care quality.
