IISC’s FACILITIES
<< Back to Homepage
On April 22, 2014, The University of Toledo opened the nation's most advanced health-care
training facility, the University of Toledo Interprofessional Immersive Simulation
Center (IISC). The IISC is a three-story, 65,000-square-foot building located on the
Health Science Campus. In this center, health-care professionals learn to care for
patients by practicing skills and procedures using simulation, as well as learn to
work as teams in a virtual hospital equipped with human patient simulators. In addition,
the center includes the introduction of 3D and Virtual Immersive Environments to medical
education.
