There is also a Simulation room on of the satellite campus. This room is utilized by Nursing and Respiratory faculty and students.  Greenville Tech's STAT (Simulation Technologies And Training ) Center provides our health science and nursing students with simulators in eight lifelike environments including an outdoor scene, indoor scene, emergency room, labor and delivery area, neonatal resuscitation, standard patient room, operating room, and specialty room such as ICU or pediatric ICU. The STAT center is utilized by Nursing, PCT, Respiratory, EMT, Dental, Radiology, and the PTA/OTA departments.  The STAT Center is run by Mike Fisher and Patrick Wolf. Both of these Sim Specialists have extensive training in Simulation and have EMT backgrounds.  Approximately 3,223 students have participated in approximately 408 simulation scenarios over the past year.

© Healthcare Simulation South Carolina healthcaresimulationsc.com MISSION AND GOALS  Mission: The mission of the Simulation Technologies and Training (STAT) Center is to improve patient care, patient safety and healthcare education through the use of Advanced Instructional Technology.  Goal: The goal of the Simulation Technologies and Training (STAT) Center is to provide a lifelike patient care experience for health science and nursing students in a safe, friendly environment where patient care skills can be practiced without causing possible harm to a live patient.
