Simulation Lab

Winona Health and Winona State University are collaborating on the creation of a healthcare Simulation Lab located in a transformed space within Winona Health. The Simulation Lab is equipped with high-fidelity full-body patient manikins allowing learners to practice assessment and treatment skills in different scenarios.

Why a Simulation Lab?

Practicing life-saving skills in the controlled environment of a simulation lab benefits caregivers/students, educators and, eventually, each person a caregiver/student cares for throughout their healthcare career. How?

A Simulation Lab:

• Allows “what if” issues to be addressed while the stakes are low.
• Builds caregivers/students’ competence and confidence.
• Fosters collaboration and teamwork.
• Creates space for right-on-time evaluation and feedback.

The Simulation Lab will make a difference not only in our community, but also our world, as caregivers/students share their skills right here or in communities they may eventually call home – communities that touch the lives of extended family and friends.
