The school provides clinical simulation in a learning laboratory set up just like a hospital, only the patients are life-like models along the lines of a crash dummy, called human simulators. This feature is a great benefit for anyone a little nervous about “practicing” on live humans. Real-world clinical experience comes from participating hospitals, clinics, and health centers in the Greater Cincinnati area. This experience is inclusive, allowing students to interact not only with patients, but also with patient families and medical practitioners at the clinical site. All clinical experiences come under direct supervision of a Galen faculty member.
