The Center for Medical Simulation
"Using Simulation To Improve Safety, Quality And
Education In Healthcare"
The Center for Medical Simulation (CMS) provides world-class healthcare simulation for a broad spectrum of providers and applications. Hands-on simulation helps teams and individuals develop preparedness and insight that is best learned and practiced in realistic conditions. This translates into improved real-world communication, collaboration, teamwork, and crisis management.
Thousands of clinicians, educators, administrators, and managers have benefited from CMS' simulation programs. These cover a range of healthcare areas, including anesthesia, emergency medicine, intensive care, labor and delivery, otorhinolaryngology, pain service, radiology, surgery, code, EMS and transport teams, and crisis management response in many domains.
CMS was one of the world's first healthcare simulation centers and continues to be a global leader in the field. CMS is approved by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) as a Level 1-Accredited Educational Institute, and is endorsed by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA).
