Introduction The STAT Center is located on the Main Campus and
there are 2 Simulation rooms located in the nursing building as
well. There is also a Simulation room on of the satellite campus.
This room is utilized by Nursing and Respiratory faculty and
students. Greenville Tech's STAT (Simulation Technologies And
Training ) Center provides our health science and nursing students
with simulators in eight lifelike environments including an outdoor
scene, indoor scene, emergency room, labor and delivery area,
neonatal resuscitation, standard patient room, operating room, and
specialty room such as ICU or pediatric ICU. The STAT center is
utilized by Nursing, PCT, Respiratory, EMT, Dental, Radiology, and
the PTA/OTA departments. The STAT Center is run by Mike Fisher and
Patrick Wolf. Both of these Sim Specialists have extensive training
in Simulation and have EMT backgrounds. Approximately 3,223
students have participated in approximately 408 simulation
scenarios over the past year.
