PEORIA,Ill --OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria is teaming up with the University of Illinois College of Medicine to enhance training and performance of health care professionals. <\/p>\n
The partnership will bring a new Jump Trading Simulation and Education Center to the hospital campus. <\/p>\n
On Monday morning, construction crews put the last beam in place on the 51million dollar facility. Officials are planning on training up to 30,000 healthcare professionals including doctors in the first year after its opening next April. <\/p>\n
\"This is a much safer environment than doing training out in the field. We can carefully control the circumstances and we can allow for training in an environment where no patient can ever receive an injury,\" said OSF Jump Trading Simulation & Education Center Chief Medical Officer Dr. John Vozenilek <\/p>\n
The six story building will include an education center, a virtual intensive care unit, and an innovation laboratory plus other training features.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
