Skills Lab

CSCLV has two clinical skills lab spaces, which are used by both the nursing students and the medical graduates and undergraduate students. The clinical labs are home to both low and mid-fidelity trainers such as the IV Arms, Chester Chest, NG and Tracheostomy task trainers along with Med Dispenses and Med Carts. Each room has a Smart Panel technology for the teaching faculty, a Doc Cam which allows a bird's eye view, and three projector screens.

Hospital Ward

CSCLV also provides students with a 12 bed hospital ward so that proper body mechanics and lifting techniques, as well as bedside manners can be taught to groups of 24 students at once. Additionally, this room has full range beds and lifts found in typical hospital settings. The hospital (bed) ward also functions as a skills lab, and many skills such as Foley catheterization and medication administration are two of the many possible skills that can be accommodated in the ward.
