The money will fund the Orlando-based public university’s 12,000-square-foot Helene Fuld Health Trust Simulation, Technology, Innovation & Modeling (STIM) Center within the future nursing building.
The STIM Center will feature a virtual hospital — including student queuing, pre-briefing and debriefing spaces, flexible simulation rooms, and specialty virtual-reality rooms — as well as a clinical skills exam suite with patient diagnostic tools and audio-visual recording systems to record students participating in training.
