Allied Health Simulation Center
Where Learning Becomes Lifesaving
Located on the second floor of the Nursing and Allied Health Teaching and Learning Center at St. Mary-Corwin Hospital, the PCC Simulation Center has been a cornerstone of hands-on healthcare education since 2012. Through a powerful partnership between PCC and St. Mary-Corwin, we provide a high-tech, immersive environment that prepares students, hospital staff, and community partners for the complexities of real-world clinical care.
Interdisciplinary Excellence
Each semester, the Simulation Center supports students across PCC's diverse allied healthcare programs, including:
- Nursing & Nursing Assistant
- Radiologic Technology
- Dental Hygiene
- Occupational Therapy Assistant
- Medical Assistant
These simulations are designed to enhance clinical judgment, communication, and collaborative teamwork—key competencies in today's healthcare environment.
State-of-the-Art Facilities
Our center is equipped with the latest technology to replicate acute and chronic care settings:
- 5 Fully Equipped Patient Rooms: Replicating real-world clinical environments
- 5 High-Fidelity Human Patient Simulators: Advanced manikins for realistic practice
- 3 Advanced Control Rooms: Equipped with audio-visual technology for real-time observation and feedback
- 3 Debriefing Conference Rooms: Dedicated spaces for pre-briefing and reflection to reinforce learning outcomes
- Professional Medical Equipment: Students train on the same tools used in hospitals, including Alaris and Baxter IV pumps and automated medication dispensing machines
National Standards of Quality
Our simulation practices are guided by the highest industry standards to ensure quality and effectiveness, including:
- Colorado State Board of Nursing
- International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL)
- Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH)
Empowering Future Healthcare Heroes
At Pueblo Community College, the Simulation Center is more than just a facility—it's a launchpad. By blending state-of-the-art technology with real-world authenticity, we empower students to think critically, act decisively, and care compassionately.
In the very rooms where lives were once saved, we are training the next generation to save lives of their own. We bring knowledge to life and transform learning into action, one simulation at a time.
