A cornerstone of the facility is “GUS,” the high-fidelity Georgetown University Simulator that can realistically replicate physiological conditions and symptoms and pharmacological responses.
GUS can be male or female, age 18 to 70, a diabetic or a cardiac patient. GUS features heart and lung sounds, papillary reactions, and can be used to teach intubation, ventilation, and follow-up assessment.
Simulation allows students within the School of Nursing & Health Studies graduate programs to apply and hone theory in a non-threatening environment while providing preparation for students who will enter real-life clinical situations.
This remarkable teaching tool allows students to get clinical training and confidence in advanced diagnostic and treatment skills in preparation for treating actual patients.
The center also includes “Neo Nate,” a pediatric simulator; “Noelle,” a maternal simulator; five primary care offices; and two hospital units.
