Ross-Supported SJMO Simulation Center Is a Boon for Students

Tue, 17 Jan 2017
Recently, there was a grand opening of the Ross-supported simulation center at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Oakland (SJMO) in Pontiac, Michigan.

This sim center will be a great boon for students who are doing rotations there, and for the level of medical education at the facility. Dave Pedersen, Ross’s director of simulation, plated a critical role in making this project a success. “We look forward to a continuing excellent relationship with SJMO, our valued clinical partner,” said Ross’s Dean and Chancellor Joseph Flaherty, MD.
