Emory School of Medicine Simulation includes the Human Simulation Education Center (HSEC) and the Emory Center for Experiential Learning (ExCEL) and is located in the Emory medical education building.
Simulation rooms have the capacity for direct and remote observation and recording. Much of the equipment will be mobile allowing integration of experiential learning into the class room and small group learning. HSEC also conducts virtual human simulation experiences.
ExCEL is a state-of-the-art facility encompassing over 10,000 square foot of educational space. ExCEL includes spaces for low-tech task trainers, sophisticated human patient simulators, and virtual reality equipment for surgical techniques.
The Human Simulation Education Center is used for human simulation education such as standardized patient encounters. HSEC focuses on patient communication skills, physical exam skills, and other experiential learning. It contains four suites each of which contain a central debrief room with projection capability and 4 examination rooms equipped with examination table and standard clinic equipment.
