Miami Dade College Medical Campus, in the heart of Miami’s Health District, is a new five-story facility that accommodates the continued growth of some of the college’s most in-demand programs.

An advanced medical simulation center occupies the entire third floor and enables students to gain essential hands-on experience working in a variety of clinical environments—surgery, labor and delivery, primary care and home health care. It features 15 hospital/patient rooms with high-fidelity mannequins, a simulated ambulance, a simulated one-bedroom apartment, 10 exam rooms where students will interact with actors specially trained to portray patients, a virtual reality space, and debrief rooms where students and faculty gather to review just-completed exercises.

In addition to the simulation center, the Center for Learning, Innovation and Simulation has a variety of classroom, collaboration and gathering spaces. Among them are active learning classrooms; a 300-person multipurpose conference center; a 150-person tiered lecture facility with technology at each seat; wet labs; physical therapy and physician’s assistant labs; a radiology suite; and student breakout spaces.
