Purpose
The OptumCare Ultrasound Training Facility project will help students to be active participants in an inter-professional educational environment and provide a dedicated area where school administration can offer a curriculum based comprehensive ultrasound training to the students comparable to provider point-of-care situations. With the centralization of the space, multiple programs will have the opportunity to benefit from the access to ultrasound equipment and incorporate high-quality ultrasound training into curriculum to enhance medical education.
Scope of Project
The Southwest Medical Associates – OptumCare Ultrasound Training Facility project includes the renovation of 477 sq. ft. of existing space located in the Michael Tang Regional Center for Clinical Simulation with a project completion date within 12 months of receipt of the gift to Touro Nevada.
