New Veterinary Medicine Simulation Center at WSU

Jan 26, 2025 - Following an $8 million renovation, Washington State University (WSU) now has one of the most advanced simulation spaces in veterinary education. The lab is designed to simulate the process of anesthesia on a veterinary patient. It enables students to practice core surgical skills like suturing, intubation, and spay and neuter techniques by using a collection of the latest and most advanced medical models and technology in the field. The facility also includes a full workshop to create and alter models for common medical scenarios ranging from diagnostic procedures and surgery to anesthesia and critical care. The simulation center will prepare students for some of the field’s most stressful moments, while also providing those without much clinical experience the opportunity to build their skillsets.
