Mandate and remit
The Sharp Prebys Innovation and Education Center is a 70,000-square-foot, four-story facility at Sharp HealthCare's Kearny Mesa headquarters campus built to advance research, training, workforce development, innovation, education and technology across the system. It houses the James S. Brown Simulation Center for interprofessional clinical team training, the Cox Technology Immersion Lab for research and technology demonstrations, and the Terrence and Barbara Caster Institute for Nursing Excellence. The simulation spaces let nurses, physicians and interprofessional teams rehearse and refine care processes to improve clinical competence and patient outcomes. The center serves Sharp's own caregivers, including roughly 6,800 nurses, and extends hands-on and virtual training to partner health care organizations and the broader San Diego community. It also includes a 375-seat auditorium and conference space used for community and industry convenings.
