Because of its prominence as a research center, Packard Children's was selected as a pilot center for the development of a national database on surgery on newborns. In addition, Packard Children's is actively pursuing research projects in the following areas:
Goodman Simulation CenterThe Goodman Simulation Center (GSC) will be used to enhance the traditional model of training by providing simulation-based tools and techniques to students, residents and other clinicians and allied health professionals at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and Stanford Hospital & Clinics. The GSC's goal is to improve patient safety and quality of care by providing the best, most comprehensive learning available. The Center is part of an overall simulation strategy for the two hospitals and the Stanford University School of Medicine and is led by the Center for Immersive and Simulation-based Learning (CISL).The surgical resident curriculum, under the direction of Drs. Thomas Krummel, Ralph Greco, Myriam Curet, Jason Lee and Sanjeev Dutta, has begun to incorporate the use of immersive and simulation-based tools that will be used in the GSC when it opens in late 2006. The GSC will be located on the 3rd floor of Stanford Hospital & Clinics, adjacent to its operating room suites and close to the intensive care units (ICUs). Lucile Packard Children's Hospital is located in Palo Alto, adjacent to Stanford University Hospital, approximately 20 miles north of San Jose, CA and 40 miles south of San Francisco.
