NSU Unveils Interprofessional Simulation Complex
NSU President George L. Hanbury II speaks to the media during the groundbreaking of NSU Health’s Interprofessional Simulation Complex.
On Tuesday, November 29, 2022, Nova Southeastern University unveiled NSU Health’s Interprofessional Simulation Complex on the site of the Miami Dolphins former football training facility. The special groundbreaking ceremony was attended by more than 100 NSU stakeholders, key officials, students, and supporters.
Dr. Harry K. Moon, NSU’s Executive Vice President and COO, speaks to reporters.
Speakers at the event were NSU President George L. Hanbury II; Dr. Harry K. Moon, NSU’s Executive Vice President and COO; Terry J. Mularkey, NSU’s Vice President of Advancement and Chief of Staff; and Charles Palmer, NSU’s Board Chair and President and CEO of North American Company LLC in Fort Lauderdale.
At NSU Health SimCom, the combination of teamwork and technology will augment the educational experience, enrich clinical training, and accelerate medical innovations. The $56 million, 107,000-square-foot interprofessional complex will be used by NSU students, community groups, health care corporations, and practicing physicians for advanced training exercises, research, equipment demonstrations, and surgical scenarios.
From the mid-1990s until the summer of 2021, the Miami Dolphins NFL franchise honed their skills for the gridiron on Nova Southeastern University’s Davie campus in what was then a state-of-art football training facility. It seems only fitting that with the Dolphins’ relocation to a new facility adjoining their stadium that their former digs would continue its legacy in training: This time in the form of educating dynamic health care leaders.
NSU Health’s Interprofessional Simulation Complex will provide cutting-edge technology and advanced training for students across all health care disciplines. Open 24/7, this facility will help train people in multiple fields, including health care, law, technology and business.
“There’s not another one like it in the state of Florida,” said NSU President and CEO George L. Hanbury II, adding that the center should open in spring 2024.
The NSU Health SimCom will offer more than 105 simulation spaces, including:
- 3-D modeling/animation
- Virtual, augmented, and mixed reality
- Holograms
- 16 human and fresh tissue stations
- Operating rooms
- Team-scenario venues
