Russell C. Klein M.D. ('59) Center for Advanced Practice

The Russell C. Klein M.D. ('59) Center for Advanced Practice 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 Center for Advanced Practice houses multiple simulation suites, state-of-the-art audio-visual technology, and an extraordinary 32-station cadaveric laboratory. 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 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 Center for Advanced Practice is a natural laboratory for scholarly work in teaching, learning, assessment, and a vehicle for attracting and retaining outstanding medical educators at LSUHSC-NO.
