Hands-on learning that makes a difference.
Our students are preparing for real-world care in simulated environments that challenge their skills and strengthen their decision-making.
Simulation Spotlight: π©Ί VCU Nurse Anesthesia students train in high-fidelity simulation labs designed to mirror real operating rooms and critical care settings.
Using advanced human patient simulators, students practice anesthesia techniques, respond to complex medical scenarios, and develop critical-thinking skills in a safe learning environment before entering clinical practice.
