Simulation Laboratory Spaces | Penn State College of Health and Human Development

A group of students practice securing a patient to a stretcher with an instructor overlooking the process.

The Athletic Training Simulation Learning Laboratory consists of three simulation clinical spaces, the Clinic Room, the Primary Care Room, and the Control Room, where students can learn and practice key healthcare skills for the athletic training field.

Clinic Room

This lab space is modeled after a traditional athletic training clinic and provides a realistic clinical setting for students to practice rehabilitation and treatment skills with volunteer patients. The room features high-low tables, privacy curtains, a rehabilitation area, and a variety of treatment tools.

Primary Care Exam Room

This space replicates a primary care provider room, allowing students to conduct mock patient examinations with healthcare equipment to inform proposed treatments and is equipped with an exam table, computer, and integrated wall diagnostic system.

This exam room has a treatment table, like you would see in a doctor's office, with the wall containing healthcare equipment such as a thermometer and a blood pressure cuff.

Control Room

The Control Room is designed to allow simulation technicians to monitor and lead simulations in the various lab spaces using SimCapture software.
