2013 Miracle Yearbook

The HSC has really been such a bless- ing. They've provided us with brand new technology and labs, and I feel like I'm going to be fully prepared for a future in nursing." —Sarah Chalgren Sophomore Nursing Student HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER The Health Sciences Center is designed to support collaboration between the nursing and pharmacy pro- grams. Not only does it have three floors and sixteen collaboration rooms, but it is also intentionally designed for a comfortable atmosphere with natural lighting. Each room is built with care and a well thought-out design. The design of the building supports an active learning model. This kind of learning model includes team-based learning, in which students engage with one another to achieve an overall outcome.The numer- ous labs within the building offer pharmacy and nurs- ing students chances to interact with real patients and simulation manikins. The first floor simulation clinic even resembles a medical office practice and is used to train both pharmacy and nursing students. Faculty, staff, and students find the building to be very welcom- ing and open, allowing them to complete daily tasks with ease. 1.
