GW's educational facilities are at the forefront of academic medicine and give GW students a decided edge over their counterparts in programs at other institutions.

The Clinical Learning and Simulation Skills (CLASS) Center, part of the Integrated Education and Research Center, provides one of the most innovative educational environments in the nation. Here, students supplement their classroom learning with comprehensive clinical exposure, feedback and evaluation that prepare them to become both technically adept and passionate caregivers.

What makes the CLASS Center even more unique is its versatility. While it was designed primarily to educate medical students, its cutting-edge technology makes it an ideal setting to teach students from almost any discipline. And, special training opportunities are available to GW residents as well as medical professionals not affiliated with GW.

The CLASS Center is comprised of Clinical/Education Rooms, a Surgical Simulation and Demonstration area and the Office of Interdisciplinary Medical Education (OIME).
