Activities & Simulation
Center-based activities concentrate on the use of simulation and simulated patients to teach and assess knowledge and skills at a variety of levels in the education of health care and human service professionals.
Simulated patients assist in the teaching and assessment of clinical skills, communication skills, medication counseling skills, and health assessment skills. The Wasson Center also uses a library of task trainers to enhance learning and allow complex information and procedures to be practiced and retained more effectively.
