Kanbar Center for Simulation and Clinical Skills Celebrates 10 Years |
|
|
|
In 2011, after years of planning, a teaching and learning center opened on the second floor of the Kalmanovitz Library on the UCSF Parnassus campus. All of the health professions schools at UCSF helped design the facility and established programming, according to UCSF Associate Dean of Medical Education Kevin Souza. “People really wanted to work together to create something that was special for UCSF.”
Ten years later, the center continues to be a central place for learning and simulation for people from all five UCSF health professional schools and at all levels of training — from high school students to seasoned physicians. Activities at the center range from those that use actors (standardized patients), to activities with partial task trainers and mannequins.
