Simulation Program
The Simulation Program was founded in 2010 utilizing unoccupied patient care space (Center 4) with the vision of promoting excellence in pediatric healthcare through simulation experiences in a structured, safe learning environment using state of the art equipment. Due to patient care, safety, and educational benefits, the need for a dedicated simulation-based education space was identified.
Through the visionary leadership of invested individuals, along with generous philanthropic support, the Children’s Wisconsin (CW) Simulation Center was created in 2013 and is inclusive of state-of-the-art technology and a thoughtful design conducive of a safe, effective, and innovative learning environment. Through the generous cumulative donation of Dairy Cares of Wisconsin, in 2018 the Simulation Center was renamed the CW Dairy Cares of Wisconsin Simulation Lab. The CW Dairy Cares of Wisconsin Simulation Program has two locations, the CW Dairy Cares of Wisconsin Simulation Lab-Children’s Corporate Center (CCC), located on the 4th Floor of the Children’s Corporate Center, and CW Dairy Cares of Wisconsin Simulation Lab-Main Hospital, located on the 7th Floor of the Main Hospital. Together Children’s Wisconsin and the Medical College of Wisconsin offers many simulation opportunities within the Children’s Wisconsin Dairy Cares of Wisconsin Simulation Lab.
