Our goal is to integrate simulation-based training into healthcare education anywhere its use by medical students and healthcare professionals will advance patient safety. Therefore, we want to work with you early in the course design process so that our simulation services support you in achieving your important learning objectives.
Instructional Design and Collaboration
Through our relationship with the Instructional Design Core and our team of experienced simulation educators, we can assist you in educational theory and simulation activity design, including implementation, assessment, and debrief. Please contact us at simulation@bcm.edu to begin our collaboration.
