Simulators
Around 1880 President Garfield, speaking of the president of Williams College, is said to have defined a well endowed college as one with a log that had Mark Hopkins on one end and a student on the other. Times, and instructional methods, have changed, but the concept of Socratic questioning with small groups of students continues to be useful. High fidelity simulators used with debriefing offer a framework to continue this educational tradition. Still, simulators are instructional aids; it is the teaching that matters. The Mary Smart Simulation Center has fifteen high fidelity simulators that are used to help create those important teachable moments. They are listed below.
The Gordon Center for Research In Medical Education, U of Miami
- Harvey, the cardiopulmonary patient simulator
Gaumard Scientific Company, Inc
- Five year old Hal (wireless)
- Noelle with Newborn

Laerdal Medical Corporation

- Sim NewB
Medical Education Technologies, Inc
- Human Patient Simulator (with Program for Nursing Curriculum Integration)
Twelve simulation suites in the Center use the IP addressed ETC wireless recording systems capable of interfacing with the Laerdal and Gaumard simulators and equipped with three cameras (one pan tilt zoom) and a microphone. The three debriefing rooms are equipped with Dual Micro ETC video and sound recorders.
