What can you expect from WCU simulation labs?

Our simulation labs help you practice your skills and build confidence in a safe environment. They are equipped with high-fidelity manikins that cry, sweat, and react like real patients. They can even give birth! You’ll be able to work through real-world scenarios while getting feedback from your peers and professors.

The Accelerated pace streamlined your education so you can complete required classes faster.
