The College of Nursing features a 10,615 square foot Learning and Technology Resource Center (LTRC) that is located on the third floor of the College of Nursing. The LTRC is a state of the art facility which houses a 16-bed hospital lab, 16-table assessment room, collaboration stations, four advanced practice provider clinical examination rooms, a telehealth room, a Pyxis medication room, and debriefing rooms. The LTRC provides a mock hospital for clinical experiences that includes seven high-fidelity simulation laboratories with digital video and audio management systems; four medical-surgical suites, an ICU suite, an obstetric/pediatric four-bed laboratory, and four telehealth robots to enhance distance education and provide clinical collaboration.

The LTRC through the Healthcare Simulation and Standardized Patient programs provides consultative and supportive services for curriculum development, design and integration of innovative immersive instructional strategies and technology, assessment methods, and faculty development. Our vision is to be a world class learning center that serves not only our own learners and employees, but our local community and impacts the national and international academic communities to advance the science of healthcare simulation education to improve practice and patient safety. Simulation Experiences Clinical simulation experiences are captured via a video capture system which can be viewed anywhere on campus in both real-time and from previously recorded experiences, which provides the opportunity to share the benefits of simulation with larger audiences. The LTRC is supported by an Executive Director, Learning Resource Center Specialist, Healthcare Simulation Specialist, Information Technology Specialist, Instructional Technology Specialist, graduate teaching assistants, and student workers. Usual hours of operation are 8:00 am to 5:00 pm (CST) Monday through Friday. To schedule a visit or skills practice, please contact the Learning Resource Center Specialist at 256-824-2430.
