The Human Simulation Education Center (HSEC) is located in the James P. Williams School of Medicine Building on the 3rd floor. The Center is a state-of-the-art educational space designed for simulated participant (SP) encounters.

HSEC is utilized for SP education, clinical skills education, physical examination practice, diagnosis assessment and other educational experiences. It contains four suites, each of which contain a central debrief room with projection capability and four adjacent examination rooms equipped with examination tables and standard clinic equipment. All HSEC rooms have the capacity for direct and remote observation and recording through our simulation software system.

HSEC is a resource for the entire School of Medicine. Currently, many of the school's educational programs, residencies, fellowships, and faculty programs work with the Center staff to build robust Human Simulation educational experiences.
