Healthcare

Listen
Nurse talking to patient

Healthcare providers are constantly learning. New technology may require new procedures. A new position may require a specific certification or a skills refresher. High-fidelity simulation training can prepare a healthcare team for unique scenarios they seldom see. Whatever the case, Ridgewater’s Customized Training and Continuing Education (CTCE) is your go-source for lifelong learning to care for patients and save lives.

Hi-fidelity simulation

Healthcare education and training uses new high-fidelity equipment to reflect real-life scenarios for active learning. Simulation provides a safe environment for participants to learn new skills, enhance teamwork, implement policies, and discuss solutions without harming a real patient. Each scenario has unique information for participants to learn or review before and during the activity.
