MIAMI, Nov. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Gaumard Scientific Company today reported that the Baylor University Louise Herrington School of Nursing has added the industry's most advanced birthing simulator, Victoria, to the Don A. and Ruth Buccholz Simulation Lab.

The use of Victoria by our students, teachers and health care professionals will enhance the learning experience at our school and provide valuable learning experiences in normal and complex labor situations.

Her use in our simulation center will allow students to experience realistic clinical opportunities while also providing a safe learning environment."
