Wichita State’s new Athletic Training Simulation Lab is now fully operational, giving athletic training students a dedicated space to enhance their clinical knowledge and skills. Located within the larger Athletic Training Lab, the space replicates real-world clinical scenarios in a safe, hands-on learning environment.
Students work with trained simulated patients to practice assessments, communication and decision-making before starting clinical rotations. Faculty can observe and guide scenarios remotely, offering targeted feedback to strengthen clinical reasoning and interpersonal skills. The lab also emphasizes teamwork, adaptability and patient interaction — key components of professional readiness.
