Coming to STRATUS

The STRATUS Center is excited to host your course, training, or other event. We can accommodate and support a vast array of programs and endeavors, including simulation education courses, independent skills practice, institutional review board-approved research protocols, prototype/product testing, and filming/interviewing.

To get started, please tell us a bit more about your planned activity by completing our short Activity Intake Form.  In general, we encourage the completion of an Activity Intake Form as far in advance of your proposed event as possible to allow for a greater opportunity to fulfill your preferred date(s). Once we receive this, a member of the STRATUS team will follow up promptly with additional information. We look forward to working with you!

Hours of Operation

Our regular business hours are 8am – 4:30pm, Monday through Friday.  However, we are able to accommodate programs from early morning into the late evening, as well as offering some weekend capacity.

Access to the STRATUS Arcade for Individual practice on our Arcade simulators is offered on a drop-in basis 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for BWH staff, as well as other MGB clinicians rotating through the hospital. Please stop by our front desk with your employee badge or contact us to request after-hours access.
