Medical Simulation & Training Environments Designed Around Your Workflow
Ford AV creates medical simulation and training environments that optimize workflows, support certification readiness, and integrate with your existing equipment and Learning Management Systems (LMS). From intake to debrief, we design spaces for standardized patient scenarios, high-fidelity mannequins, and multi-department use—ensuring faculty and students have the tools they need to succeed.
Medical Simulation Designed Around Your Workflow
Ford AV structures your simulation environment to optimize every stage of clinical training:
Intake & Preparation
Flexible spaces for orientation and scenario setup
Simulation Execution
High-fidelity mannequins, standardized patients, and multi-department collaboration
Recording & Monitoring
Multi-angle video routing, instructor view, and LMS integration for assessment
Debrief & Assessment
Dedicated debrief rooms and workflows that support certification-ready training
Faculty & Staff Support
Spaces and systems designed around teaching needs and clinical objectives
One Size Doesn’t Train Everyone
Turnkey simulation packages often force educators into preset workflows. Ford AV customizes your environment to match your certification requirements, class size, and clinical objectives. Our solutions support faculty, students, and multi-department programs, ensuring training is realistic, effective, and workflow friendly.

Medical Simulation Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We already have mannequins, cameras, or software. Can Ford AV integrate with them?
Yes — We work with your existing simulation technology, including LMS platforms, mannequins, cameras, microphones, and standardized patient systems.
Our simulation rooms are small. Can you still design an effective training environment?
Yes — many simulation centers operate in compact or repurposed spaces. We design flexible layouts and technology that maximize every square foot.
Multiple departments need to share our simulation center. Can Ford AV support this?
Yes — We design multi-department workflows to support nursing, EMS, respiratory therapy, physician training, and more.
Do you support standardized patient simulation (SP) as well as high-fidelity mannequins?
Absolutely. We support SP rooms, observation spaces, communication systems, recording tools, and debrief workflows.
Can Ford AV help with student assessment, certification, and debriefing?
Yes — We design systems that support certification requirements and seamless instructor-led debriefing.
We want to upgrade without replacing everything. Is that possible?
Yes — we specialize in renovating and improving existing simulation centers.
