WORLD-CLASS PATIENT CARE
SIMULATION EXPERIENCES
The Center for Medical Simulation
provides one of the best patient
care simulation experiences in
the world. We offer two of the
most highly-realistic simulation
environments of their kind, and
have engineered and adapted medical
simulation mannequins to over
350 scenarios based on actual
claims.
Career-Altering
Many participants find their CMS
training to be the single most valuable
and meaningful learning experience
of their careers. Many find our confidential
environment to be more comfortable
and accessible than simulation at
their home institutions. Up to 97%
of participants expect their experience
at CMS will help them perform better
the next time they respond to a critical
event.
Comprehensive
Approach
All CMS courses address both the
clinical and behavioral aspects of
performance, focusing on crisis management
and error prevention. Course topics
include leadership, teamwork, effective
communication, resource management
and performance enhancement. Active
learning in the CMS real-world settings
enhances participants’ retention
and ability to apply target skills
and behaviors.
Hands-on
A typical CMS day is filled with
experiences in simulated clinical
situations, punctuated with debriefings
supported by videotaped scenarios.
These debriefings with our skilled
instructors are the core of the learning
experience. They encourage an open
and motivational discussion of performance
and error, instilling the principles
of teamwork in participants’ approaches
to healthcare. The CMS learning
model is based on the widely-accepted
Crisis Resource Management principles.
