Hands-on learning that makes a difference.
Our students are preparing for real-world care in simulated environments that challenge their skills and strengthen their decision-making.

Simulation Spotlight: 🩺 VCU Nurse Anesthesia students train in high-fidelity simulation labs designed to mirror real operating rooms and critical care settings.

Using advanced human patient simulators, students practice anesthesia techniques, respond to complex medical scenarios, and develop critical-thinking skills in a safe learning environment before entering clinical practice.

This Memorial Day, we remember those who gave their lives in service to our country and honor CRNAs who serve both in uniform and in civilian care. Their contributions continue to support those who serve our nation. 🇺🇸
