Cape Fear Valley Health’s simulation center was recently recognized by Becker’s Hospital Review as one of the “simulation and education programs to know.” The healthcare industry publication recognized 64 hospitals and health systems across the country with “outstanding simulation and education programs.”

“These organizations are dedicated to advancing their workforce and service lines through innovative education and simulation initiatives. By offering realistic, safe and controlled environments, these programs enable learners to master essential healthcare skills. These efforts result in better patient outcomes, enhanced safety and lower healthcare costs.,” Becker’s said in a release.

Cape Fear Valley Health's simulation center, located within the Center for Medical Education and Neuroscience Institute at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, is a state-of-the-art facility advancing healthcare education through cutting-edge simulation technologies and multidisciplinary training.

“We are honored that Becker’s Hospital Review has recognized Cape Fear Valley’s Simulation Center as one of the top in the country,” said Director of Workforce Development Mark Rose in a press release. “This distinction underscores our unwavering commitment to excellence in medical training and patient care. By utilizing state-of-the-art simulation technology, we provide our healthcare professionals with hands-on, high-fidelity training that enhances their clinical skills, critical thinking, and teamwork. This directly translates to improved patient safety, better outcomes and a higher standard of care for the communities we serve. We are proud to be at the forefront of innovation, ensuring our teams are prepared to deliver the highest quality care in every situation.”

The center is equipped with high-fidelity simulators like Pediatric HAL, Trauma HAL, and VICTORIA, as well as advanced surgical platforms such as the Angio Mentor and Arthro Mentor, and provides realistic training across specialties, enhancing clinical competency and patient safety.

Accredited by the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons for fundamentals of endoscopic surgery testing and home to an American Heart Association training center, the simulation center supports certifications and advanced training programs. It also plays a vital role in Cape Fear Valley Health’s residency programs and the planned Methodist University Cape Fear Valley Health School of Medicine, leveraging its resources to prepare future medical professionals.
