About Us
Promoting patient safety through excellence in competency-based education,
evaluation and interdisciplinary team training.
The Learning Center provides a large array of both high fidelity and low fidelity
simulation equipment, to support innovative, multidisciplinary and inter-professional
education of healthcare students and professionals living in Louisiana and the Gulf
Coast region. The Learning Center houses multiple simulation suites and state-of-the-art
audio-visual technology within the Isidore Cohn, Jr. MD Student Learning Center and
the Russell C. Klein M.D. ('59) Center for Advanced Practice. Education and training
activities engage learners in active, competency-based, hands-on learning and provide
explicit opportunities for reflective and deliberate practice and feedback. The Learning
Center is supported by faculty members and staff who have specific expertise in teaching/learning
effectiveness, curriculum and instructional design, program evaluation and performance-based
assessment. The Learning Center is a natural laboratory for scholarly work in teaching,
learning, and assessment and a vehicle for attracting and retaining outstanding medical
educators at LSUHSC-NO.
