More than 150 attendees visited an open house and participated in hands-on demonstrations hosted by Northwestern Simulation in the Department of Medical Education on March 3.

“We invite a variety of audiences with the purpose of thanking our supporters and increasing exposure and awareness of the Simulation Center,” said Elizabeth Wylie, MHA, executive director of Northwestern Simulation. “Medical device and pharmaceutical industry executives, Northwestern Medicine clinicians, medical societies, government officials and potential donors and alumni are the typical audience we see on this evening.”

Participants observe how trainees practice effective communication skills with standardized patients (trained actors) to simulate high-stakes clinical scenarios.
