Health Science Simulation Center

The Amarillo College (AC) Health Sciences Simulation Program is designed to meet the needs of students in pursuit of allied health and nursing careers, while also delivering mission-critical Continuing Education and training for regional hospital staff and other healthcare providers.

Located on the College’s West Campus, Building B, in close proximity to Amarillo’s medical community, the AC Simulation Center will be uniquely positioned to provide advanced simulation-based educational training to enhance learning and graduation success, with an overarching goal of improving patient outcomes. Additionally, the program seeks mutually beneficial partnerships and Continuing Education agreements with current and future healthcare providers.

Upon completion of ongoing renovations to Building B, the state-of-the-art facility will be equipped to deliver a variety of simulation training experiences – advanced patient simulators, standardized patients, procedure trainers, and extended reality programs – that replicate both in-hospital and out-of-hospital settings and yield advanced certificates.

The Center will require a dedicated area for operations support with staff offices, a conference room, a standardized patient training area, and break rooms. Additionally, dedicated space will be required for storage and IT infrastructure to meet the requirements of the Center to provide “best practices” simulation-based experiences that bring learning to life.
