Healthcare Simulation

Our department is strongly committed to leveraging simulation science and training to improve care.
We proudly conduct several robust ongoing simulation programs including inter-professional in situ mock codes, hands-on skills training sessions, and community outreach.
Simulation methodology is used across the educational spectrum in our department, and our faculty members include some of the major thought leaders and scholars in healthcare simulation. In addition to designing and investigating novel training paradigms, such as virtual reality, we also have programs of study to leverage simulation as a standardized laboratory to study new devices or processes of care (e.g., cardiopulmonary resuscitation).
We closely partner with the Mary & Michael Jaharis Simulation Center, Helene Fuld Trust Simulation Center, and the Margaret Wood Center for Simulation and Education – with access to state of the art simulation facilities and resources.
Simulation Fellowship
The Department of Emegency Medicine offers either a one-year or two-year simulation fellowship experience to develop future leaders in healthcare simulation science who will drive cutting-edge advancements in education, research, and patient quality & safety.
