Nursing, dental students gain patient insights via poverty simulation
Sixty-six nursing and dental hygiene students took part in a “poverty simulation,” designed to put them in the shoes of families trying to meet obligations on a low income. “You never know what someone else is going through,” many students noted.
Dean's Message
“Students receive hands-on learning in laboratory settings that simulate real-world healthcare experience. Through application of knowledge and clinical judgment, students learn side-by-side with faculty and healthcare professionals to expand their learning in preparation for entry into the workforce. Our strong industry partnerships provide our students with the opportunity to work with the latest advanced technology while working collaboratively with providers in advanced medicine and patient care."
