Welcome
Dr. Kathleen Kavanagh
Welcome and thank you for visiting the Jacksonville University Brooks Rehabilitation
College of Healthcare Sciences (BRCHS) Simulation Training and Applied Research (STAR)
Center site.
The STAR Center provides a safe simulated hospital environment for inter-professional students to work as a team while becoming proficient in the performance of health assessments, clinical skills, and complex medical care on simulators (manikins) and live standardized patients. In addition to providing simulation experiences to undergraduate and graduate students, graduate nurse residency program training is provided for local partnering hospitals throughout the year. JU graduates are highly regarded by community healthcare agencies for their provision of safe and quality care. We hope that you enjoy the information presented on our website! Please feel free to contact myself or any of the STAR team members.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kathleen Kavanagh
Director, STAR Center
