The best way to learn is to practice. The Simulation and Clinical Performance Lab at Cizik School of Nursing at UTHealth Houston gives students the opportunity to practice in a setting that mimics the real world. In this 27,000 square foot facility, future nurse leaders develop critical-thinking skills, gain confidence in stressful situations, and master advanced medical technology using high-fidelity equipment that replicates challenging clinical scenarios. With faculty supervision, students receive immediate feedback to enable faster learning. The lab, which offers a range of simulated experiences from childbirth to emergency medicine, also provides the ideal environment for research and testing of new technologies.
