Did you know about PTC's hi-tech SimCenter? With the generous support of a $4.2M Department of Labor grant* awarded in 2009 and with the HealthCare Alliance, the college built a state-of-the-art center for simulation to benefit its healthcare education programs.
The high-fidelity simulation suite boasts the best Laerdal Medical has to offer. As of 2011, the Simulation Center features a SimMan 3G, two SimMan Classic (one of which travels to local healthcare providers to assist with their on-site training), three Vital Sim Nursing Annes, two Vital Sim Nursing Kellys, a Vital Sim Nursing Kid and Nursing Kelly, and several basic manikins used by the college's CNA and nursing classes. The Healthcare Alliance Simulation Center will also contain a control room and the Laerdal Advanced Video System to facilitate the debriefing process for PTC's programs. The integration of electronic medical records is also planned.
