Boston-based Dana Farber Cancer Institute has opened a new simulation center to facilitate hands-on oncology nurse training.
The Ning Zhao & Ge Li Simulation Center will provide nurses with the space to practice and refine technical skills associated with complex oncology care, according to a May 5 news release from Dana Farber.
The center’s design effort was led by Jeanine Rundquist, DNP, RN, executive director of Dana-Farber’s Center for Clinical and Professional Development and other expert oncology nurses. It closely resembles Dana Farber’s existing clinical spaces.
A $10 million gift from the Ge Li & Ning Zhao Family Foundation helped establish and build the simulation center. The gift was made in honor of Ning Zhao, PhD, a scientist, business leader and philanthropist who died of cancer in 2023.
At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
