The University of Miami’s newest hospital has a six-bed emergency room,an operating room,a birthing room and outpatient clinics (诊室).

The only thing missing is patients.Instead,nursing students get a realistic clinical experience using computerized patients and staff actors.

“Practicing on real people can be a frightening environment,and as our patients may be unwilling to accept treatment when a student walks in,” said Susana Barroso-Fernandez,who oversees UM’s simulation program.“We created this environment to allow students to practice and make mistakes and never put a patient or student at risk.”

UM’s Simulation Hospital is part of a growing trend of colleges building simulation centers to provide real-life experiences for munity colleges and schools also use simulators for emergency medical technician and medical assistant programs.

A 2014 study by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing found that colleges could use simulation to replace up to half of all clinical experience without any bad results.The students scored as well on nursing license exams as those getting most of their experience in hospitals and health care centers.Officials say they think simulation has helped their students achieve nearly perfect passing rates on the exams.

There are major advantages of simulation.In addition to giving students a safe environment to practice in,it also gives students experience with conditions that are rare,but still important for them to know how to deal with.

The Simulation Hospital will also be used as a training place for people outside of UM,officials said.

“You can bring companies in that want to test new products before they go to market,” Barroso-Fernandez said.“You can work with community partners like police and fire departments.You can take this hospital and turn it into a casualty event and have the community practice disaster preparedness and response.It’s not just about nursing education.”

In a warehouse east of Los Angeles,Richard Medina employed “Black Cat” to keep mice from stealing the drinks and foods that were stored there.

Black Cat is one of many neutered feral cats (绝育的流浪猫) that “no-kill” shelters are giving to businesses and people to help control animals like mice,and to save cats’ lives.

Medina received his animals through a working cat program at the Los Angeles shelter of the Best Friends Animal Society.The organization is trying to end unnecessary pet euthanasia (安乐死).

But placing cats in businesses can only help a little with the problem of unwanted pets.

Though the number of animals euthanized in shelters has been decreasing,about 860,000 cats are still killed each year.Many city shelters don’t have space to house them and many are too wild to make good house pets.

Working cats start out living on the streets,where they learn to fear humans,says Marc Peralta,who runs Best Friends’ Los Angeles shelter.Some are caught by animal control officers and brought to shelters run by the city — which is where Best Friends mainly gets its working cats.

Besides businesses,the program has placed cats with people who need help in the countryside.

Brittany Sorgenstein raises plants,sheep and a rabbit on her land.She could not get away from the mice.Through the Best Friends Animal Society,she found out about the working cat adoption program and decided to give it a st year,she raised two cats.

It’s not always perfect.They may kill birds or other wildlife,which is why some environmental activists are against putting homeless cats back into society,says Rebekah DeHaven,a spokesman for an animal rights organization.But she added that most communities don’t see these cats as a large problem if they are fixed and disease-free.
