About the Simulation Center
Mission
Our mission is to provide experiential learning and research opportunities for learners and faculty using state-of-the-art technologies and best practices in simulation education.
We aim to promote the use of simulation in health science education to meet the needs for collaboration, communication and teamwork resulting in improved care, enhanced safety, and reduction of human error.
Our vision is to be recognized as an accredited, state-of-the-art simulation center in health science education and research in northwest America.
What is simulation education?
Simulations are clinical learning experiences that present students with a specific problem to work through in a realistic way. Simulation learning is more hands-on than a lecture, and it includes more intentional observation and reflection than a daily clinical routine. Simulations help students develop skills in communication and modern technology that equip them for a successful career.
How does it work?
Detailed simulation scenarios outline information that everyone from professors to students to simulation staff needs to know. During the scenario, students learn through hands-on practice with manikins or standardized patients. Afterward, they reflect on their experience in a conversational debrief with faculty and peers.
