Shapiro Simulation and Skills Center
The Carl J. Shapiro Simulation and Skills Center (SASC) at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) offers the latest advances in medical simulation technology to BIDMC, neighboring institutions and the global healthcare field in a new, state-of-the-art facility. The Center provides realistic training opportunities for learners at all levels, from all disciplines, and uses progressive teaching methods to replicate real-life patient care situations, from routine procedures to acute management crises.
The Carl J. Shapiro Simulation and Skills Center was established with the support of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery and the Carl J. Shapiro Institute for Education and Research. Under the leadership of the BIDMC Center for Education and the Shapiro Institute for Education and Research, the SASC was developed to provide the highest quality medical simulation education to the entire BIDMC community and beyond, and demonstrates BIDMC’s deep commitment to its educational mission.
The Simulation and Skills Center raises the bar for major academic medical centers by providing healthcare students and professionals with curricula and skills training on the latest medical and surgical techniques in a state-of-the-art, technologically advanced facility. Although most health centers offer some degree of medical simulation training, the scale and scope of BIDMC’s SASC make it one of the most comprehensive simulation training centers in the country.
