Facilities

The VCU School of Medicine – Inova Campus is located in the Claude Moore Health Education & Research Center within the campus of Inova's flagship Fairfax Hospital. As part of our educational vision, we established the Claude Moore Health Education & Research Center, which features 11,000 square feet of modern space dedicated to the educational needs of our highly valued VCU students.

This state-of-the-art center will include a full medical and surgical simulation center, while currently housing our simulation lab. Simulation training is at the forefront of medical education and enables students to learn through hands-on experience. Lecture rooms are equipped with video conference technology allowing students access to the Richmond Campus in the areas of team based learning plus the entire spectrum of student affairs and student life issues. Students have 24 hour access to computer labs and a study lounge area. The center is proud to offer high-tech information technology that allows traveling students who may live outside of the
region to receive a seamless medical education
from anywhere in Virginia.
