Clinical Education Center
The Clinical Education Center (CEC) at 725 Hamline Street is a self-contained state-of-the-art facility for the teaching, assessment and research of clinical skills. Its mission is to prepare future and practicing health care providers in medicine, nursing and rehabilitation therapy to meet the health care challenges of an increasingly diverse society.
Students from the medical school, nursing, and physicians’ assistants programs use the building regularly for training and assessment activities. It is comprised of 9000 square feet of uniquely designed learning space. There are 16 examination/interview rooms with one-way windows, two lounges, two large classroom spaces and a 70-seat auditorium/classroom.
The CEC has a wealth of sophisticated audio-visual equipment to support and facilitate learning. Technology in the exam room area allows for the audio-visual recording of student and patient encounters. Both the auditorium and one of the large classroom spaces are fully equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual classroom support, including teleconferencing for lectures and presentations. It is also home to some specialized medical technology including “Harvey”, the cardiac patient simulator and a video ophthalmoscope.
