The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth Simulation Center Mannequins Can Breathe, Bleed and Even Give Birth

The simulation center will have 14 exam rooms, a debriefing room, a simulation apartment for students to practice taking care of patients at home, two virtual reality rooms, three laptop charging bars, several multipurpose team rooms, learning lounges and an observation room with one-way glass.

In the observation room, students will work with mannequins that, depending on their model, can breathe, bleed and even give birth. On the other side of the glass, Karen Meadows, the center’s director, grades the students on their performances.

The University of North Texas Health Science Center plans to host its grand opening for the simulation center to VIP members on June 23 and to students, administration, faculty and staff on June 24.
