FIU DRF STAR Center®
FIU Diane Ramy Faulconer Simulation Teaching And Research (STAR) Center® at the Nicole Wertheim College of Nursing & Health Sciences
Located at Modesto Maidique Campus (MMC) and Biscayne Bay Campus (BBC) the Center provide students and healthcare providers with the opportunity to learn through interdisciplinary teamwork and discipline-specific care of simulated multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, and multi-generational patients in a safe environment – prior to providing care in real-world clinical situations. The generous support of Diane Ramy Faulconer ’74 will expand the mission of the STAR Centers to advance local, regional, and global healthcare by providing an innovative learning environment where simulation technology facilitates inter-professional healthcare education, collaboration, research, and evidence-based practice.
The Diane Ramy Faulconer Endowments will distinguish the STAR Centers as leading national and international centers of excellence for teaching and research and fulfill the College’s 21st century vision for interdisciplinary “High Touch-High Tech” education.
The STAR Centers feature patient rooms that replicate multiple acute care patient care settings, and clinical exam rooms, which are equipped with high-fidelity human patient simulators and state-of-the-art healthcare equipment. Simulation scenarios replicate real-world patient encounters for teaching clinical decision making, critical thinking, and communication skills with patients, families and teams of health professionals.
The STAR Centers are fully accredited in teaching/education by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare Accreditation and are officially designated as an American Heart Association Heart Saver facility with multiple course offerings.
