Our Facility
The Carl J. Shapiro Simulation and Skills Center at BIDMC is located on ground floor of the Shapiro Building. The Center includes a large teleconference room for up to 65 learners and contains live media feeds to four different operating room endosuites, allowing for teleproctoring, inter-institutional courses, and intercontinental broadcasting of Grand Rounds.
The high-fidelity mock operating and intensive care unit rooms feature working water and gas lines, video cameras, and observation windows with state-of-the-art teleconferencing ability. The procedure simulation area contains 27 partial task trainers, which can be used by several learners in small-group sessions. The surgical simulation area contains computer-based tutorials, filmed operations, and the Virtual Patient Program.
