The pace of change in medical science and practice continues to accelerate. It is Harvard Medical School’s responsibility to build and foster an environment that is reflective of this dynamism, responsive to student needs, and centered on patient-care skills.
HMS has embarked on a transformation of its medical education space to ensure that we can equip and enable our graduates to design innovative solutions to the complex and evolving challenges in health care and medicine.
The learning spaces recently transformed in Tosteson Medical Education Center include:
Clinical Skills Center
This 7,500 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility includes 18 exam rooms, 10 of which have moveable walls that convert into five large patient-simulation rooms equipped with wireless mannequins. The center’s advanced learning and teaching technology enables students to practice treating patients and hone skills before entering the hospital setting.
Learning Suites
Suites designed to help students build community and learn collaboratively. Suites feature a large classroom with flexible seating, a damp laboratory for hands-on learning, and an additional interactive learning room for patient simulation and more.
Anatomy Skills Loft
The technological upgrades to this space facilitate a continuum of anatomy related learning, including dissection, prosection, and virtual anatomy. Additionally, new self-study rooms provide access to virtual anatomy programs, complementing dissection in adjacent labs.
Opportunities to make an impact
Support for the Medical Education Building Revitalization Fund transforms learning spaces to incorporate new educational technologies and tools needed to prepare the next generation of leading physicians.
