Medical Simulation and Learning
No longer is lecture the only mode of transferring knowledge. At the UT Center for Advanced Medical Simulation, residents, fellows, and medical students use simulation to follow curricula and learning objectives that meet learning styles and satisfy goals of specialties and needs of patients. Specific skills are taught and assessed by faculty physicians from the UT Graduate School of Medicine, who are, themselves, lifelong learners.
In addition to advanced, virtual reality technology, the medical simulation center offers low- and mid-fidelity trainers that refine essential skills used regularly by medical professionals, including inserting catheters, accessing veins, administering injections, and using defibrillators. Today's doctors exercise low-fidelity simulation training to re-enact proper techniques for inserting central venous lines, which will minimize the chance of central line associated blood stream infections, and suturing to ensure proper healing of wounds. The simulation center plays an important role in making the University of Tennessee Medical Center and UT Graduate School of Medicine leaders in healing and education.

"I cannot say enough about my third and fourth year experiences at UT Medical Center in Knoxville. The faculty are amazing - they have a genuine interest in teaching, and in students' success in medical school and beyond. The attendings, residents, nurses, and administrators all create an environment where students feel welcome and supported, which really impacts learning. I am so happy I chose to do rotations in Knoxville, and would highly recommend rotating there to all UTHSC students."
