COLLEGE OF NURSING
SATELLITE CLINICAL EDUCATION BUILDING AT LEXINGTON MEDICAL CENTER
SOLVING THE NURSING WORKFORCE SHORTAGE
A 52,000-SQUARE-FOOT STATE-OF-THE-ART NURSING SIMULATION CENTER AND TEACHING SPACE.
Lexington Medical Center and College of Nursing’s public-private partnership is boosting ties in nursing.
A 52,000-square-foot state-of-the-art nursing simulation center and teaching space will be built on the hospital’s campus to provide clinical training for USC’s growing nursing student population. The project, funded by LMC, will be completed by 2024 and is estimated to cost $20 million.
With the new space at LMC, USC will be able to graduate 400 pre licensure nurses per year in the Midlands — an 80% increase annually. The new building will be used primarily for clinical training of the university’s third- and fourth-year nursing bachelor’s students as well as master’s program students. The university’s health sciences interprofessional education program also will use classroom space. The facility is expected to open for the first cohort of nursing students in fall 2024 with its groundbreaking in February 2023.
Our innovative partnership with Lexington Medical Center is great news for South Carolina residents, who will directly benefit from the training we provide to future nurses.
