University of Miami's School of Nursing and Health Studies Simulation Hospital is one of the largest and most advanced simulation hospitals of its kind


At five stories and 41,000 square feet, the new University of Miami's School of Nursing and Health Studies (SONHS) Simulation Hospital is one of the largest and most advanced simulation hospitals of its kind, according to an article on the Miami Hurricane website.
