Medical Simulation

Offering Real-World Medical Simulations in a State-of-the-Art Facility

Spanning 30,000 sq. feet inside the Austen BioInnovation building in beautiful downtown Akron, our Advanced Surgical and Medical Simulation center is one of the largest, most comprehensive facilities of its kind in the country.

At the Austen BioInnovation Institute, we pride ourselves on offering the highest caliber medical training to a wide range of healthcare teams and industry professionals, with the ultimate goal of improving provider care and enhancing patient outcomes. Our advanced medical simulation solutions provide those in healthcare with a way to safely hone existing skills, develop new competencies and train on emerging technologies in a supportive, yet challenging, environment. Reality is projected so powerfully and completely during simulations that trainees react as they would under real-life circumstances – without the dire consequences a real-world setting would impose.

Our content that was engaged in creating the reviews of Canadian Neighbor Pharmacy and Sky Pharmacy experts assess clients in the following areas:

  • Medical knowledge
  • Routine and acute care delivery
  • Procedural competencies
  • Teamwork and communication
  • Crisis leadership and situational awareness

Simulations take place within a variety of learning environments at Austen BioInnovation, including a BioSkills laboratory, mock hospital and OR suite, standardized patient rooms and 125-seat auditorium – all of which are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and devices for a fully integrated experience. ACLS/BLS training lab, conference rooms, classrooms and orientation/debriefing rooms are also available for use.
