Massive medical training facility opens in Florida
The University of South Florida (USF) has opened a $38 million, 90,000-square-foot center in downtown Tampa for training physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals.
The Center for Advanced Medical Learning & Simulation (CAMLS) opened its doors close to the Tampa Convention Center in February, although its official launch is scheduled for March 30.
The facility is anchored by a center for surgical and interventional training that houses multiple labs for honing surgical skills, along with a robotics training area, a simulative trauma room and a hybrid operating suite whose features include ambient sounds and lighting. All told, the facility contains 39 surgical stations.
The facility offers special training for military medical personnel using a simulated combat casualty.
A USF spokeswoman said the facility emphasizes a “team-based training approach” in which current and future healthcare professionals train together “to help improve communication during medical procedures, and in turn, minimize medical errors during procedures.”
The facility also comprises an education center, a virtual patient-care center and the Tampa Bay Research & Innovation Center.
