Center for Advanced Medical Learning & Simulation – CAMLS

CAMLS is USF’s 90,000 square foot powerhouse of state-​of-​the-​art simulation for medical education. It was an easy 5 minute walk from the Hyatt. I saw rooms that could function as operating rooms, endovascular simulators, an amphitheater with built-​in microphones in the table, and a fully funcitonal kitchen with catering capabilities. I read that they have rooms for standardized patients and a functional CT scanner! Highlights of this facility:
1. This would be my go-​to place during a zombie attack. With the ORs, showers, and kitchen, what more could I ask during the end times?
2. The french toast that they served (sorry, no pics, house rules) was easily the best french toast that I have ever had! It was made from french bread and had a crispy top layer and a warm, sweet, gooey center reminescent of a brownie. If it weren’t for my dress pants and belts I easily could’ve eaten mounds of it!
3. The toilet paper was engineered to be durable like a paper towel but plush like a pillow. It was THE BEST TOILET PAPER that I had ever used.
4. Free wifi. As a traveler on a budget, my iPhone was glad to pick up a guest wifi signal.
In short, CAMLS high-​end technology covers food, education, and everything in between.
