Claude Moore Medical Education Building Summary

Claude Moore Medical Education Bldg

The Claude Moore Medical Education Building will consolidate medical education programs and create a central entrance to the School of Medicine. The five story structure will be connected to Medical Research Building Five, facilitating access to the School of Medicine facilities in Jordan Hall and the Health Sciences Library.

Basement Level: Clinical Skills Center

  • Contains the Clinical Skills Training and Assessment Program which utilizes standardized patients (SPs) to teach students examination and diagnostic skills.
  • 18 outpatient rooms, 2 inpatient rooms, each equipped with 2-3 pan/tilt/zoom video cameras and 2 microphones to record patient interactions.
  • 2 briefing/debriefing rooms to prepare students for an exercise and conclude their exercise. Each is equipped with video projection and computer.
  • 1 SP Training room, with projection and computer, multiple computers for training of SPs in use of scoring software.
  • 1 AV control room to monitor recordings in process, adjust camera angles, and manage flow of learners and SPs via an intercom system.

Ground Level: Simulation Center

  • Contains the Medical Simulation Center which will allow teaching An artist`s rendering of the Medical Simulation Centercomplex procedures and honing vital skills in a safe, virtual environment.
  • Mock ER, OR, LDR, ICU rooms, each equipped with 4 video cameras and multiple microphones, including wireless headsets, to record simulations. 
  • 4 AV control rooms overlooking the above through one-way mirrors. AV control rooms will be used to monitor recordings in process, adjust camera angles, and manage flow of learners and simulations via an intercom system.
  • 6 Procedure rooms for small parts simulators, each equipped with one camera, one microphone, and the ability to record the output of simulator machines. One includes a large flat panel display for instruction.
  • Divisible Training room, with two projection systems, computers, control system, for briefing and debriefing of learners.

Floor One: Learning Studio

  • Contains the "Learning Studio," a technology-enabled active-learning classroom that provides an interactive, hands-on learning environment in which students work collaboratively in small groups.
