Simulation Clnic
In fall 2021, the Bank of America Charitable Foundation provided financial support to build an Indigenous-developed clinical simulation space in the Center for Native American Health.
NAHS will construct 1,045 square feet of clinical simulation space to include a patient exam simulation room, a hospital patient exam simulation room, a teaching and mediation room, and storage for the clinical simulation spaces and accompanying healing modalities. This space will foster interprofessional enagagment accross WSU students and faculty across the health science colleges. Indigenous patients can use the space to share their views of clinical communication and exchange.
