Simulation-Based Education Development Fund
The new VR simulations, co-developed with healthcare virtual reality company SimX and the U.S. military, let students experience high-stakes scenarios we can’t easily simulate, and they may not see during their clinical training. Partnering with SimX, our goal is to create custom virtual reality simulations tailored for veterinary students (existing scenarios are based on triage care for military working dogs).
Support from generous donors and alumni enhances our students' skills and confidence and allows WSU to continue our legacy as pioneers in veterinary healthcare simulation.
Follow our social media (Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn) to keep up on exciting updates and get insider information on our Simulation-Based Education program – the world’s first accredited simulation program focused on veterinary medicine!
Simulation-based education is a key component to training some of the most prepared and competent veterinary graduates in the country. We use simulation to enhance student exposure and experience, building their confidence and increasing patient safety.
-Dr. Julie Cary, director of the Simulation-Based Education program
Clinical Simulation Center
The center provides hands-on simulated veterinary training from basic suturing to surgery and from anesthesia models to emergency room care.
Clinical Communication
We use trained actors to simulate client scenarios students may encounter once they begin their own practice.
WSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine has the nation’s first simulation program accredited by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare with a focus on veterinary medicine.
