PRESCOTT, Ariz. (Nov. 6, 2025) – Dignity Health Yavapai Regional Medical Center (YRMC) has opened a new, state-of-the-art simulation lab at its west campus in Prescott, expanding opportunities for clinical education.
Designed to support medical students, graduate nurses, and current staff, the simulation lab provides education and annual competency training in a safe and realistic environment. The lab also offers scenario-based training to teach healthcare professionals how to treat and respond to a variety of medical conditions and complications, including instances of abdominal pain, breathing difficulty, and cardiac events.
The education doesn’t end with the hands-on portion of the simulations. Special camera equipment allows for each scenario to be filmed from two different angles. The footage can then be reviewed by students and instructors to see where improvements can be made.
“This new lab provides participants the opportunity to learn in a stress-free environment,” explains YRMC President and CEO Anthony Torres, MD. “That way, when they encounter a similar situation in a real clinical setting, their training becomes second nature.”
The majority of the lab was funded by the Yavapai Regional Medical Center Foundation. The new simulation lab follows a number of recent YRMC expansions, including the opening of a sports medicine clinic and the addition of 10 new intensive care unit beds on YRMC’s east campus earlier this year.
