UW-Milwaukee School of Nursing
James and Yvonne Ziemer Clinical Simulation Center
The James and Yvonne Ziemer Clinical Simulation Center provides a safe learning space for students to practice hands-on skills using simulation.
Simulation provides a modeled environment for students to experience aspects of patient care without fear of harm to an actual patient using models, manikins, medical equipment, and human patient simulators. Some of the simulators run with computer software which allows it the ability to breathe, talk, and maintain a blood pressure and pulse.
A place for learning a variety of strategies, settings, and equipment, with clinical simulation as one of the major tools. Clinical simulation using patient models, manikins and medical equipment provides students with a safe learning environment to practice care.
About the Simulation Center
The James and Yvonne Ziemer Clinical Simulation Center provides a safe learning space for students to practice hands-on skills using simulation.
UWM School of Nursing actively works to use simulation as a way to educate and train not only nurses, but also other health care providers, and first responders in the community. Coupling that with researchers that are interested in innovative approaches we have a chance to provide a place on campus where we can simulate the kinds of areas that we need to provide the answers to the sticky questions of health care today.
Accreditation
The simulation program is accredited by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare.
UWM’s program is one of only three healthcare simulation programs with full accreditation in the state of Wisconsin. This accreditation signifies our commitment to excellence, quality and continuous improvement in healthcare simulation and adult education.
