Clinical Experience

Preparing leaders to deliver exceptional care.

With hundreds of clinical partners, high-fidelity simulation labs, and immersive experiences, our graduates are ready to practice. Since our inception, we've placed a high value on the combination of theoretical academics with practical, clinical application. Our focus on experiential learning, in addition to the Institute’s innovative IMPACT Practice interprofessional education curriculum, facilitates critical thinking, communication skills, ethical reasoning, and team-based problem-solving. We coordinate and ensure all clinical placements for students; producing graduates who are prepared to succeed.

At our Sanders IMPACT Practice Center, members of the community encounter the best approaches to health and wellness, child development, chronic care, and recovery as students from multiple disciplines work in teams to provide exceptional care.
We have invested heavily in simulation labs equipped with observation/control rooms and live video feeds to enable hands-on and real-time learning. Two dozen interactive, high-fidelity manikins, and state-of-the-art labs allow hands-on practice in simulated real-world environments.
Our simulation labs are aligned with licensure preparation and certification readiness.
