A growing idea in nursing education is helping to bridge the gap between education and practice; simulated learning is changing the way nurse educators teach and students learn. Where traditional education involves didactic content that students apply later in a clinical setting or laboratory, simulators, such as the Simcare Center at Chamberlain College of Nursing, engage students and allow them to react in real-time to a wide variety of medical scenarios.

Chamberlain's Simcare Center hosts high-fidelity human patient simulators that allow nursing students to develop their competencies in childbirth, seizures, cardiac arrest and other healthcare scenarios in a safe, yet sophisticated, simulated environment.
