Center for Simulation Innovation

The Center for Simulation Innovation (CSI) is a 7,300 square-foot simulation hospital and 6,500 square-foot skills laboratory for training students and healthcare professionals in the heart of San Antonio's 900-acre medical center.

The only center of its kind in San Antonio and south Texas, the CSI is leading and supporting the development of nursing and interprofessional education (IPE) simulations. In the CSI we operate clinical practice laboratories and associated technology-based initiatives to deliver an optimal simulated learning experience for health professionals.

This state-of-the-art center technology provides high, medium, and low fidelity mannequins and other learning resources to train students and health professionals in the region. Simulation services include hands-on assistance in the use of technology and other adjunct learning resources.

Specialized simulations are available:

• Poverty simulation
• Dementia Tour

The CSI is available to our faculty and students on campus as well as to health care providers and companies. To book a learning resource in our CSI, please contact Dr. James Cleveland.
