A safe learning environment with life-like simulators to enhance patient care skills
The Holli Counts and Joseph Grendys Simulation Center at Erlanger provides hands-on training for Erlanger’s direct patient care staff and students. The center features lifelike, high-fidelity patient simulators - or mannequins - each with unique capabilities to replicate real-life scenarios. The center offers a safe learning environment for staff to practice high-accuracy skills they might not get to do very frequently – all with the goal of improving patient outcomes.
