Welcome
The Center for Simulation Technology and Academic Research at NorthShore University HealthSystem provides state-of-the-art immersive medical simulation for trainees of all levels.
We believe that superior patient care depends on effective integration of patient safety initiatives, teamwork, education, professionalism, and research.
Improving the care of our patients is the overarching goal. Using simulation, we can show you how.

"The whole flow was nice - an actual scenario then recap. For us its about practice. The more of these we, have the more comfortable we will be. In the first 7 years on peds I had no practical experience with emergency situations so this has been critical to my development. THANK YOU!"

We recently hosted a visit for the 3rd year students of Ta Promlee-Benz’s class at Near North Montessori School (www.nnms.org). The students were inquisitive and bright. In addition to their tour of CSTAR, they visited the emergency department and toured an ambulance as well!
