PCOM Simulation Center at Bayhealth



Bayhealth is leading the way in medical education in central and southern Delaware with a state-of-the-art training space.The PCOM Simulation Center at Bayhealth is a 10,000 square-foot educational space located at the Bayhealth Hospital, Kent Campus.

The center is equipped with the latest technology and provides a high-tech immersive learning environment for medical students, residents and other healthcare professionals.

The space offers hands-on learning with the latest computer simulation and robotic technology. It includes a classroom, emergency bay, operating room, debriefing rooms, and a virtual reality training area. The center features several full-body patient simulation manikins that mimic actual patient care responses, including trauma and critical care scenarios. A sophisticated audio visual and software setup allows training to be recorded so learners get immediate feedback.

The center is a safe space that allows clinicians to develop or fine-tune their skills and build confidence to be the best caregivers they can be. It benefits healthcare professionals across many disciplines. Bringing team together in this space strengthens teamwork, which in turn, enhances the care and safety we deliver to patients.

Mission

The mission of the Simulation Center is to support simulation and experiential education that builds safety, quality, and inquiry in those who serve our patients and community.

Vision

Using simulation and experiential education to build a culture of safety, quality, and inquiry that strengthens the health of our community.
