Promotional flyer from LSU Health New Orleans School of Medicine titled “Center for Advanced Learning and Simulation.” The flyer uses a purple, gold, and white color scheme and includes multiple photos of modern healthcare training environments. Images depict a bright, open medical mall-style hallway with glass-walled rooms, simulation labs with hospital beds and medical equipment, a classroom with rows of seats, and clinical spaces where individuals practice procedures on mannequins. A close-up image shows flashing emergency vehicle lights. Text highlights that the facility is 75,651 square feet and includes a medical mall, simulated emergency department, standardized patient project (SP Project), and multifunctional wet labs. Additional text describes four large simulation rooms, two classrooms seating 40–80 people, five debriefing rooms with recording capabilities, and a 10-bed emergency department used for real-life patient care scenarios. A demonstration lab has 16 workstations expandable to 32, and a nursing simulation center includes 20 inpatient rooms and 10 ICU or operating room simulation spaces. The flyer also notes locker rooms, instrument washers, and risk-free training to reduce medical errors. The bottom section features LSU Health branding, the phrase “Real Impact,” and a statement calling the program “A national trailblazer in health professional education.”
