Rowan-Virtua SOM Simulation Center

Rowan-Virtua SOM's state-of-the-art Simulation Center provides a unique experience across all four years of undergraduate medical training. Our hands-on programs are designed to complement the curriculum that is taught both in the classroom and through clerkships. Watch our video to capture the simulation experience, as well as hear first-hand accounts from students and faculty on the vital role our center plays in their medical education.

About the Center

The new Simulation Center at Rowan-Virtua SOM includes:

• Fourteen ambulatory-themed and four hospital-themed exam rooms with attached observation areas for standardized patient and simulator experiences.
• One large procedural skills lab for medical procedure training.
• Six new human patient simulators, including a Laerdal SimMan 3G adult mannequin, Laerdal SimJunior pediatric mannequin, and CAE Lucina birthing simulator.
