New learning laboratory completed

The new PA learning lab includes 10 exam rooms linked with audio-visual monitoring communications and features simulated operating and emergency rooms. There also is a central teaching area for group projects and demonstrations, as well as student lockers and mailboxes and the necessary infrastructure for the addition of a simulation mannequin in the future.

The Staten Family Learning Labs were made possible by a generous gift from John Staten, chairman of the board at O’Neil and Associates in Miamisburg. His son Greg is a 2001 graduate from Kettering College’s physician assistant program. The Virginia W. Kettering Foundation also made a significant donation toward the project.
