Medical City Healthcare’s 37,000-square-foot HCA Healthcare Center for Clinical Advancement in Frisco, Texas provides advanced simulation education that supports more than 37,000 students and staff through more than 1,300 events annually. The center includes five high-fidelity simulation rooms with adjoining control rooms and adult interactive manikins capable of realistic movement, sounds and adaptive scenario response, along with hands-on task training such as venipuncture, endotracheal intubation and chest tube insertion. A dedicated women’s and pediatric simulation room features a high-fidelity birthing manikin for live birth scenarios, a high-fidelity infant manikin with warmers and resuscitative devices, and a pediatric manikin for team-based pediatric training. A six-bay skills training room uses mid-fidelity manikins for core procedures like IV insertion, vital signs, physical assessment and dressing changes, supported by instructor observation and coaching. Five high-tech debriefing rooms enable audio-video review to strengthen self-reflection, confidence and clinical competence. The facility also includes an auditorium and flexible classrooms for new employee orientation and broader educational programming.
