The virtual hospital environment

UC Davis ranks among the top teaching hospitals in the nation and is a regional resource for training physicians, nurses and other health-care professionals. The UC Davis Center for Virtual Care incorporates a variety of sophisticated simulation training tools to create a virtual hospital environment for practicing medical procedures. The versatile center can mimic a single intensive care unit or replicate the flow of patients through the medical center – from the field to transport through emergency treatment and surgery to the intensive care unit.

Virtual hospital applications include:

  • Normal operations
  • Staff assessment
  • Clinical pathways
  • Emergency operations
  • Disaster response • Bio-terrorism • Mass casualty events
  • Professional education • In-service training (onsite and telemedicine)
  • Continuing medical education
  • Competency training and assessment
