Seeger Surgical Simulation Center
The Seeger Surgical Simulation Center provides services to all of the Baylor Scott & White Health staff. The trainings are unlimited as long as we have the right equipment. General surgery residents are provided with 24-7 access, allowing practice of techniques from basic suturing and knot-tying techniques to laparoscopic procedures.
We also assist Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine students with their simulation curricula, which includes diverse simulation activities in surgery, family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, emergency medicine, obstetrics and gynecology. A scenario-based mock-code training is very popular among the internal medicine residency program and the hospital’s nursing staff.
The center also has the capability for practicing many critical skills, including:
- Knee/shoulder arthrography
- Angiography vascular approach
- Endoscopy
- Bronchoscopy
- Central line insertion
- Lumbar puncture
- Thoracentesis/Paracentesis procedure
- Arterial line placement
