A new health care military training center has opened in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn Medical Center is providing vital hands-on experience to military and civilian medical personnel and emergency responders.
With talking human simulators that bleed and imitate battlefield trauma injuries, have heartbeats and breathing and abdominal sounds, the 7,500 square-foot training center also offers training for local firefighters and paramedics.
In addition to six simulation rooms, the $1.6 million facility, which opened in January 2011, boasts class and meeting space with cutting-edge teleconferencing equipment and high-definition audio/video capabilities. The training center expects to train at least 400 military medical personnel in year 2011.
