Healthcare Simulation Center
Hands-On Healthcare Training in a Real Hospital Setting
The Mid-State Healthcare Simulation Center is a state-of-the-art training space built to meet the growing need for skilled healthcare workers. Located inside Aspirus Wisconsin Rapids Hospital, the center gives students hands-on practice in a real healthcare setting.
Here, students learn by doing. High-tech simulators and realistic labs help them build skills before working with live patients. This safe, supportive environment helps students gain confidence and prepare for real-world care.
Learning Opportunities
The Simulation Center gives Mid-State students a safe place to practice real healthcare skills. These simulated learning experiences support and strengthen clinical training. Students can work through real-life medical scenarios without risk to patients.
High-fidelity simulators recreate situations such as stroke, sepsis, shock, bleeding, and childbirth. Sessions can be recorded so students can review their work and learn from each experience.
Programs that use the Simulation Center include:
Tour the Simulation Center
The best way to experience the Healthcare Simulation Center is to see it in person. Community members, prospective students, and partners are welcome to attend a tour.
During a tour, you may see live demonstrations using high-fidelity simulators, the Anatomage Table, and other advanced equipment. It’s a great way to learn how Mid-State prepares students for real healthcare careers.
The 12,000-square-foot center includes spaces for both inpatient and outpatient training:
- Hospital & exam rooms
- Surgical suite
- Central sterilization area
- Lab draw room
- Nurse & medical assistant stations
- Medication room
- Two classrooms
- Anatomage Table (virtual cadaver)
“The Simulation Center was not just a learning tool—it was the foundation for me, for my continued learning, and a safe place where we can learn, refine those skills, and become the best healthcare providers for our patients.”
