Simulation at UB School of Nursing

Build Clinical Confidence Through Nursing Simulation

Gain hands‑on practice in realistic health care scenarios before working with patients.

Simulation is woven into both our undergraduate and clincal graduate nursing programs. Using high‑fidelity manikins, standardized patients, virtual reality and cutting‑edge simulation labs, students sharpen essential clinical skills in a safe, realistic environment 

You also strengthen interpersonal communication, teamwork and clinical judgment— competencies that matter in every care setting. After each scenario, faculty guide reflective debriefs to reinforce strengths, refine techniques and prepare you to excel.
