The Bailen Health Sciences Simulation Learning Center

The Bailen Health Sciences Simulation Learning Center at Spalding University is a multi-purpose space used to provide nursing students with practical, hands-on training in a variety of healthcare settings. Within the Bailen Center, graduate and undergraduate students learn skills and competencies in a safe learning environment. Learned and mastered skills can then be transferred to real-life healthcare clinical experiences. This allows faculty to teach and prepare students to become safe nursing professionals and ensure students can apply knowledge learned in the classroom to a practical experience.

The Bailen Center is part of the School of Nursing, located in the Republic Bank Academic Center. It features multiple simulation rooms with mid- to high- fidelity patient simulators in various simulation spaces (high-acuity, pediatric, obstetric, etc). While the Bailen Center is primarily used by nursing students, other health sciences programs, such as Occupational Therapy, Athletic Training, and Physical Therapy have begun to utilize the space. Students in these programs can utilize the Bailen Center resources in their training as we are now training all healthcare sciences in interprofessional education.
