The Simulation Labs at Texas State University aim to expand from its current 98 students to 625, with upgraded facilities, manikins, and a new curriculum. Through individual meetings, group discussions, and training days, faculty members will excel in utilizing the lab effectively, leading to increased simulation scenarios and better preparedness. This program will improve understanding of resources, enhance simulation scenarios, and ensure timely supply management.
