NEOAHEC provides simulation-based healthcare training in Eastern Oregon, where access to hands-on medical education is limited. Simulation allows learners to practice clinical skills and patient communication in realistic scenarios, helping providers prepare for high-risk, low-frequency situations.
Our Simulation Program
NEOAHEC owns two high-fidelity medical manikins—one pediatric and one adult—that can breathe, blink, speak, and display vital signs. We are planning to expand this program to include a maternal and newborn simulation system to strengthen local training for pregnancy and neonatal emergencies. All simulations are supported by trained staff, including a Certified Healthcare Simulation Operations Specialist (CHSOS).
Who We Serve
We provide simulation experiences for learners across the healthcare pathway, including:
-
High school students through MedQuest and career exploration programs
-
Nursing students at OHSU in La Grande
-
Staff & providers at regional healthcare facilities
New partnerships are in the works to expand the use of these manikins to other partners.
