Advancing Medical Simulation

Nearly two decades of simulation training to improve quality of care

Founded in 1993, the Center for Medical Simulation (CMS) was one of the world's first healthcare simulation centers and continues to be a global leader in the field.

Simulation training at 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.

At CMS the focus is on communication, collaboration, and crisis management in order to develop skills and teamwork behaviors that are best learned actively under realistic conditions. Since it first opened in 1993, CMS has run over two thousand courses and trained thousands of participants using its innovative and challenging scenarios. 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.
