Mission & Vision
Mission
To provide a dedicated environment for health care providers and students of all levels in which to learn, apply and research cognitive, psychomotor, and interpersonal skills using simulation technologies.
Vision
To enhance patient safety and the quality of medical care through the use of innovative, high impact training and research in simulation.
Goals
- Increase the safety, efficacy and effectiveness of patient care through innovative, interdisciplinary training
- Allow for learning in a safe, non-threatening, and controlled environment away from the clinical setting
- Build confidence and increase the performance of clinicians
- Increase exposure to critical, yet low frequency patient encounters in order to minimize the risk to patients
- Increase effective communication among all members of our healthcare team
- Develop simulation as a tool for the assessment of clinical skills
- Use focused, methodologically sound research to measure the impact of simulation activities on learning and ultimately, clinical practice
- Significantly enhance quality improvement initiatives using simulation activities
