Mission

It is our mission to be at the forefront of patient care to create, apply and share the best practice in healthcare education and delivery by replicating the patient care environment where learners can apply knowledge, skills, and attitudes in an interprofessional approach.

Vision

• Provide a safe simulated environment for learning, where quality patient care is emphasized, through the utilization of evidenced based clinical decision making and evaluation methods.
• Foster simulation research to improve healthcare education, processes and outcomes.
• Cultivate relationships between disciplines to impact collaboration and mentorship.
• Create simulation based educational programs to assist in maintenance of certification, to improve and enhance the simulation community and to serve as outreach to professional organizations.
• Develop and validate new innovations, skill sets and technologies.
• Ensure high quality customer satisfaction through transparency, communication, efficiency and feedback.

Goals

To prepare health care professionals for the complex health care environment and care of today's patients in a safe, competent manner. Within the center, activities and simulations will be developed to promote interdisciplinary, collaborative care among the health care practitioners. The simulation center will provide authentic experiences to prepare and assess learners using simulations in a variety of platforms, e.g. patient simulators, actors/actresses, virtual reality multimedia, and other methods.
