Mayo Clinic is a leading health care facility in a variety of ways, including innovation and technology, and has been since the start 150 years ago.  Our state-of-the-art Simulation Centers at our Arizona, Florida and Rochester locations, provide a safe learning environment, to help hone employee skills using highly realistic scenarios, without jeopardizing patient safety.  The multidisciplinary simulation centers also lead this effort, by helping educators to develop, implement and evaluate experiential curriculum that advance patient care, keeping our primary value in focus: "The needs of the patient come first."

 “There is not excuse today for the surgeon to learn on the patient.” –William J. Mayo M.D., 1927. The J. Wayne and Delores Barr Weaver Simulation Center in Florida, opened their new space in January 2013.  The center is equipped with cutting-edge equipment, that creates simulated robotic surgeries, ultrasounds and fluoroscopy.  Patient scenarios can be simulated via virtual mannequins, or real-life actors can be hired to create real-life scenarios.
