Interprofessional Education in Simulation Labs
Students from various health professions work with a simulated patient (a student actor from the University) in one of the simulation labs. These interprofessional experiences help students learn about other professions’ roles and responsibilities, values and ethics, and teamwork. These simulated experiences prepare them for their real-world clinical experiences.
Speech and Hearing Clinic
Our dedicated Speech and Hearing Center not only offers Mercy students studying Communication Disorders the opportunity to learn in a clinical environment, we've also provided speech, language and audiological services and treatment to the community for more than 25 years.
