Lovell Federal Health Care Center that serves U.S. military personnel, as well as private clinics and practice settings. Training focuses on positioning patients at the center of care and as an active member of the healthcare team. During student didactic training, CMS' simulation labs allow students to sharpen their interactive and communication skills and develop critical reasoning.
