William G. & Marlys Smith Simulation Center at Iowa Central

What an incredible week at SimGHOSTS 2026 in Saginaw, Michigan!

Shy, Jack, and I from Sim had the opportunity to learn from simulation professionals from across the globe, explore new technologies, share ideas, and bring back innovative strategies to enhance the educational experiences we provide for our students.

Simulation is constantly evolving, and opportunities like this help us continue to grow, collaborate, and improve the realism and quality of our training. We are excited to put what we’ve learned into practice and continue preparing future healthcare professionals with the best simulation experiences possible.

A big thank you to everyone who shared their knowledge, experiences, and passion for simulation. We appreciate the opportunity to represent Iowa Central and look forward to applying everything we’ve learned for our students!

Way to go!!!! 🥳 Please congratulate our EMS Coordinator Peter Amstalden and all who helped make this milestone achievement possible!!!!

Iowa is paving the way!

For the first time ever, Americans can use Pell Grant dollars to learn in-demand skills in as little as eight weeks, jumpstarting a high-paying career without being saddled by burdensome debt.

It was a very busy and fun day at Sim today! Thank You all for visiting us. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.

What a finish to the week… 🚣🏼‍♀️ We had EMT students here last night for medical scenarios, and Jack went to Storm Lake yesterday to visit some of our patients and make sure they were all in working order. Glad to report everyone passed their checkups and are ready to see students at the Storm Lake campus again soon.

We had a couple visitors come see the Medic students at Sim on Thursday Night. Thank You for bringing your knowledge and experience to share with our students. We look forward to seeing you both again soon. 🙂
