Sim Around the State

Our brick-and-mortar campuses in Rockford, Springfield and Urbana have simulation facilities on site.

The UIC Nursing-Rockford campus has a four-bed skills lab with various task trainers to provide students with training in fundamental nursing skills.
Students also participate in simulations in the University of Illinois College of Medicine Rockford’s Simulation Center, located in the same building as the College of Nursing.

The UIC Springfield Simulation Lab is divided into two main areas: a Skills Unit with eight beds and a Simulation Unit with three simulation rooms.
The Skills Unit features a hospital-style layout where students use a variety of task trainers to practice fundamental nursing skills such as IV insertion, foley catheter insertion and wound care.
The Simulation Unit features several high-fidelity manikins and a comprehensive A/V recording system provided by Elevate Healthcare, Learning Space, to allow for live-streaming and recording.
A large debriefing room allows for individual and group feedback following simulation experiences.

The UIC Urbana Simulation Lab is a 3,200-sq-ft space with an eight-bed skills lab and two simulation rooms, including an apartment.
The Urbana campus uses a mix of low-, medium- and high-fidelity manikins and is equipped with a comprehensive A/V recording system provided by Elevate Healthcare, Learning Space.
A multiuse classroom serves as a debriefing space after simulations.
UIC Nursing-Urbana students also participate in interprofessional simulations at the Jump Simulation Center Urbana.
