Winchester-based Wise Construction has completed two major projects involving renovation and construction of advanced-level laboratories for training of medical personnel in the Boston area.
This month, the firm completed work on surgical skills training laboratory at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (MEEI), in Boston, and the Center for Medical Simulation (CMS), in Charlestown.
The surgical skills training laboratory’s proctor station is connected to 12 individual teaching workstations with video screens and communications capabilities. Each is equipped with surgical microscopes, drills, and DVD training videos. Teleconferencing capabilities enable live broadcasts to conference rooms within the hospital and to physicians in locations around the world.
The newly renovated space at CMS includes a CT scan, a fully equipped operating room and an intensive care unit. Each is used to simulate disaster situations in which the clinician is placed to "practice" care delivery. The operating rooms and ICU are equipped with medical gasses, including oxygen, nitrogen, compressed gas and vacuum. The center, which was founded in 1993, is one of the world’s first healthcare simulation centers. It is located in Charlestown’s historic Navy Yard.
