IU Bloomington Graduate Education and Health Sciences vice provost David Daleke said: “When students feel like they’re being trained in a hospital, it has a powerful effect on their understanding of the career they’re pursuing.”

Slated to be fully operational this year, the new Health Sciences Building is said to be larger than the existing two centres that feature patient rooms, doctor rooms and a home environment for training in any number of situations.
