Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the US. During a heart attack, every minute that passes before you get treatment, decreases your chance of survival. Just because you might not be in easy driving distance of a hospital doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a fighting chance. At WakeMed, the training is very real, in order to give you that fighting chance.

The WakeMed Center for Innovative Learning recently entered this video into the first annual METI awards, showcasing videos of human patient simulators in use.
