ORLANDO, Fla. — Channel 9 was there Thursday as Sen. Bill Nelson got a look at plans for a new Veterans Affairs medical training facility that will be built next to the VA hospital project at Lake Nona.
Nelson fought for the project to be built in central Florida because of the area's booming simulation industry. He said it also makes sense for it to be built next to the hospital to keep Orlando on the forefront of the changes in technology and protect the industry from future cuts.
"We use mannequins, task trainers, virtual training to allow our providers, our trainees to practice before going in," said SimLearn Medical Director Dr. Haru Okuda.
Channel 9's Karla Ray got look at some of the simulators that will be built into the 51,000-square-foot training center. The just-announced project will be the hub for all VA physician training in the country.
