Casper College Simulation Project

The Casper College (CC) School of Health Science is requesting support from the U.S. Department of Labor and the U.S Department of Education to expand and enhance their ability to deliver health care training programs that meet the growing needs of TAA-eligible students, the long-term unemployed, underemployed and Wyoming veterans. CC will create a medical simulation lab, curricula, and learning materials that will be used by all nine of the schools health science programs. Medical simulation training provides learning conditions that imitate real-life situations without putting the patient at risk. Health care professionals can learn to react and correctly treat a patient in these conditions without causing injury. A health care professional's ability to react wisely in unexpected situations is one of the most critical factors in providing a positive outcome. This ability is one that requires time, training, practice, and repetition. Our graduates will be highly qualified candidates for employment and will help to fill critical health care needs in Wyoming. This center will expand and improve our ability to deliver education and training programs to meet the overarching goals of this SGA.
