Simulation at UCSF Fresno
The UCSF Fresno Clinical Skills and Simulation Center is designed to develop and enhance the necessary skills critical to the success of our future physicians. Through simulation we are constantly improving patient care and safety by recreating routine and complex situations. We use task trainers such as airway models and ultrasound compatible central line models as well as high-fidelity mannequins to create realistic learning opportunities. Simulation provides a safe environment for our residents to learn and practice procedural skills, complex decision-making processes and team leadership skills.
The Clinical Skills and Simulation Center is located on the 1st floor of the UCSF Fresno Building Rooms 118/119 and is open 5 days a week from 8am to 5pm. Early/late hours, and weekend sessions will be determined via Skills Lab Coordinator.
To schedule a Sim Session in the Clinical Skills and Simulation Center must be requested through our online request form at least one week in advance.
