Miami Dade College (MDC) Homestead Campus recently hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new Benjamin Leon School of Nursing, Simulation and Skills Center, a state-of-the-art learning environment and training center that will prepare students to deliver excellent patient care.

The Benjamin Leon School of Nursing, Simulation and Skills Center at the Homestead Campus is designed to prepare individuals with the evidence-based principles and skills necessary to successfully perform in real-world clinical settings by helping them reduce errors, improve safety, and elevate the quality of patient care.

This 4,850 square foot facility features a control room, two simulation rooms, two debriefing rooms, two skills wings, and a health assessment wing. This supportive learning environment where our MDC Nursing students will thrive, can also be utilized for interdisciplinary collaborative efforts with the South Dade healthcare community and other health-related programs within the college.

Students will ensure their professional competency by mastering skill application, clinical judgement, and critical thinking skills in a non-threatening environment. This one-of-a-kind health training venue will provide much needed resources and expertise for the ever-growing community of South Dade and beyond.
