If you’re interested in a career in healthcare, Greenville Technical College’s School of Health Sciences has the tools for you to reach your goals. Enter: The Simulation Technologies and Training (STAT) Center, home to highly-effective, hands-on learning tools designed to be safe for patients and students.
In the STAT Center, students in EMT/paramedic, nursing, and other programs have access to 12 human simulators to learn new skills. The high-tech manikins, complete with life-like vitals, can move their eyes, breathe, talk, and even give birth — just like a real patient.
The manikins are set up in various controlled environments, ranging from the operating room to a nursery. As students react to various medical situations, the simulators respond to the treatments. Some of the manikins can also answer questions, like how much pain they feel. See how they work.
The STAT Center also has a virtual reality program that allows students to practice simulated procedures online, either at home or in a classroom.
