Advancing Medical Simulation

More than a decade of simulation training to improve quality of care

Simulation training at the Center for Medical Simulation (CMS) gives healthcare providers a new and enlightening perspective on how to handle real medical situations. Through high-fidelity scenarios that simulate genuine crisis management situations, the CMS experience can open new chapters in the level of healthcare quality that participants provide. CMS focuses on communication, collaboration, and crisis management to develop skills and teamwork behaviors that are best learned actively under realistic conditions.

CMS has trained thousands of clinicians over its 15 years in healthcare simulation, using more than 350 different scenarios in 900 courses. We are proud to feature:

a multidisciplinary, expert staff, affiliated with some of the world's most well-known and well-respected hospitals, medical universities and colleges
exceptionally high-quality and innovative programs in full-environment facilities
a breadth of course offerings

CMS has been a leader in the healthcare simulation field since putting its first mannequin simulator into service in 1994. We have developed courses for clinicians, medical educators, administrators and managers, conducted research on a spectrum of topics, helped manufacturers to conduct human factors trials of their technologies and continue to initiate an array of healthcare simulation activities.
