Learning Labs

There are several learning laboratories and spaces on campus.

Nebraska Methodist College offers a human cadaver laboratory component for our Anatomy and Physiology courses. The laboratory experience consists of lectures and demonstrations given by qualified anatomy instructors utilizing prosected human cadavers. Students have the unique opportunity to learn about the structure and function of the human body from the human cadavers during designated lab times as well as during times scheduled outside of class and lab hours.

The Nursing Assistant laboratory is a fully equipped laboratory area with 5 beds and practice areas designed to provide a safe learning environment. Students establish competency for the skills they will bring to the clinical setting through practice that incorporates the use of manikins and a variety of patient care equipment. The laboratory is utilized during class periods and scheduled as requested on an individual basis. The Nursing Assistant classroom is adjoined to this laboratory due to the frequent integration of didactic and hands-on learning used in the program.

The nursing skills laboratory consists of two state of the art laboratory areas, fully equipped with 12 beds, designed to facilitate student learning and increase critical analysis. There are two high tech simulation rooms with video feedback to classrooms where students and faculty can observe and critique clinical scenarios. This learning centered laboratory design integrates classroom knowledge with practice and promotes application, comprehension, and analysis through the nursing process. The structured environment allows students to safely perform high risk skills and develop competencies before and during actual clinical experiences.

Students in the phlebotomy program are able to practice blood-draw techniques in a supervised laboratory setting that includes learning resources, anatomical models, and general medical supplies that the phlebotomist uses in clinical practice. The lab experience is purposefully integrated with classroom material.

The majority of PTA classes are held in the laboratory space, allowing students to practice techniques at the time of instruction. During laboratory sessions, students work with current equipment as well as physical modalities (ultrasound, electrical stim) commonly used in physical therapy clinics. Students gain hands-on experience and competency with therapeutic equipment prior to starting their clinical coursework. The lab is also equipped with anatomical models, reference books, and a computer to which PTA students have access at all times.

The Radiography laboratory is equipped with a non-energized radiographic machine that allows students the ability to simulate exams and fine-tune their positioning skills. The laboratory contains a variety of equipment and supplies including image receptors, grids, Q.A. equipment, sterile supplies, computer and text references, and radiographic models. The lab is designed to support integration of classroom material with experimental learning in a controlled environment.

This laboratory offers Respiratory Care (RC) students the opportunity to gain competency with diagnostic and therapeutic equipment similar to that used in their clinical practice. Students practice simulations with a mechanical test lung which demonstrates compliance and resistance changes in cardiovascular disorders. Experienced respiratory therapists serve as instructors to guide students in learning procedures in the laboratory. In addition, RC students may use the area outside of scheduled times to practice on their own. The laboratory is also available for RC students for private or group study using models, reference books and computer - assisted instructional aids. It is located on the second floor of the Clark Center.

The Sonography laboratory offers students the opportunity to practice with real-time ultrasound equipment. Students learn how to operate equipment, explore physical properties of sound-tissue interaction, and develop and practice exam protocols prior to entering clinical practice. The laboratory experience is designed to integrate classroom knowledge with ultrasound instrumentation, and does not replace clinical hands-on experience. In addition, the laboratory contains audiovisual aids, textbooks, 3-D models and other educational reference material.

The Surgical Technology lab was built to closely mimic a complete and functional operating suite. It contains an operating room table, back tables and mayo stands to assemble sterile supplies and instruments for the sterile field, scrub sinks, anesthesia machine, treatment modalities, patient positioning aids, completely stocked suture locker, functional laparoscopy suite and trainer, and a wide variety of surgical instruments for all surgical specialties and supplies. Completing "surgeries" on simulators under the watchful eye of the integrated ceiling camera allows the student to critique and improve skills prior to entering the clinical component of the program.
