Excellence in Research
The Clinical Skills and Simulation Center is engaged in important and innovative research programs in simulation-based education. The sim center faculty and team have been prolific contributors to the academic discussion with more than 80 peer-reviewed publications, several books, and more than a dozen book-chapters. This work has contributed significantly to the development of simulation as an important educational tool in medicine. Each year, the Center is involved in medical student and resident physician led research programs using simulation.
