CHP Opens Nursing Training Lab

College of Health Professions Dean Ronald T. Brown and development director Evelyn Gehres recently joined faculty and staff from Temple’s nursing department to dedicate the new John T. Calhoun Nursing Resource Center at 3307 N. Broad St. (Temple’s Pharmacy Building).

The training lab, designed by Tom McCreesh from Temple’s facilities department, includes a three-multibed medical-surgical environment complete with state-of-the-art equipment and mannequins, as well as areas for physical assessment and small-group learning.

The nursing lab is one of two training centers at the Health Sciences Center, including the Institute for Clinical Simulation and Patient Safety at the School of Medicine, which utilizes both simulation and standardized patient training methods to train students in the health professions.
