Medical Simulation Center Prepares Medical Teams for War The Field Family Medical Simulation Center in the Rachel and Max Javit Medical Simulation and Classroom Building – inaugurated just last year – offers state-of-the-art medical simulation rooms for the training of doctors, nursing staff, and paramedics. These simulation rooms meticulously reflect real-life medical scenarios, from mastering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques to life-saving procedures for trauma victims, such as stopping bleeding, airway management, and emergency surgeries. Menachem Blumenthal, administrative director of the Field Family Medical Simulation Center, commented on the Center's switch to a field hospital-style training facility, saying: "Since October 7, many medical teams, from the army and civilian organizations, have been asking to train at our simulation center, and we are trying to accommodate them all. On routine days, students, military, and police personnel train with us hoping their services will not be needed. Unfortunately, now it is "for real.” The simulation center’s innovative approach, including the use of advanced simulators and a trauma room, has been significant in the preparation of many IDF teams in recent days and these sessions will continue as needed.
