New Facility at Nebraska Medical Center Aimed at Technology

nebraska-medical-centerLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Supporters of a proposed $102 million learning center at the University of Nebraska Medical Center say it will offer cutting-edge technology.

The University of Nebraska Board of Regents is scheduled Friday to vote on the center, which would be called the Global Center for Advanced Interprofessional Learning.

Plans for the center have been limited. But it’s supposed to offer the kind of technology that would allow a student to step inside a virtual heart or practice patient care on mannequins that replicate breathing, bleeding and giving birth.

School officials have requested some funds from the Nebraska Legislature, which is pending. Another portion is expected to be covered through private donations.
