The Integrated Teaching and Learning Center (iTLC) is a flexible learning environment that facilitates team-based, interactive, and blended learning. The UMass Chan Medical School curriculum is designed to seamlessly integrate teaching across disciplines, emphasize self-directed study; promote team-based learning, and employ state-of-the-art technologies. The iTLC learning space supports Computer Based Testing. The classrooms, amphitheaters, and iTLC rooms are reserved for T.H. Chan School of Medicine classes through the OUME.

The Interprofessional Center for Experiential Learning & Simulation (iCELS) offers two floors of simulation teaching opportunities. The UMass Chan trained Standardized Patients (SPs) deliver emotional authenticity, medical accuracy, learner assessment, and constructive debriefing. SPs also serve as skilled teachers and evaluators of the complete physical exam. The high-fidelity interactive manikins, task trainers and clinical instrumentation allows for deliberate practice in an ideal learning environment to develop skills mastery and enhance team based communication.
