Upstate Medical University Simulation Center

Heavenly Father, On this Sunday morning our hearts are filled with comfort and a great sense of peace. We can honestly say that You are a loving and faithful God. You have never let us down, and for that we are thankful. Your word reassures us, that because of Your love for us, You are at work in all things in our lives. It is You who arms us with strength, and keeps us safe in this troubled world we’re living in. Today, I want to pray for all of my friends and family. I ask that You would take away any fear or anxiety they may be experiencing, and replace it with Your peace. Bless all of Your people financially, physically, and above all Spiritually today, as the Holy Spirit continues to lead our way. In Jesus name we pray, Amen…🙏

First Simulation in Healthcare Interest Group meeting happened today! Thank you to Dr. Al-Aman Shaukat for going over a couple of heart sounds with first and second year medical students! We are looking forward to running this event again in the future!

Respiratory Therapy class is never boring! Juniors in the Respiratory Therapy program divided into two groups for an introduction to breath sounds. With their stethoscopes placed on their trainers, the groups started to compete to correctly identify the name and location of abnormal breath sounds. They wanted a scoreboard! They wanted points!
