Strategic Partnerships

 
 

Since its inception, the SimCenter has actively sought collaboration with other public and

private sector organizations involved in medical simulation. Many of these collaborations

have evolved into partnerships that focus on research; curriculum development; validation

of simulations and simulators.

 

One such partnership is the Mid-Atlantic Consortium of Clinical Skills Centers representing

9 medical schools in the Mid-Atlantic region. The collaborative fosters new innovations in

clinical skills assessment involving human simulation (SPs). Another partnership is with the

Defense Medical Modeling and Simulation office at the Defense Health Agency (DHA)

which allows our SimCenter to interface with simulation policy leaders in the Army’s

Central Simulation Committee, the Navy’s Medical Modeling and Simulation Training

Program (NMMAST) and the Air Force Medical Modeling and Simulation Training Program

(AFMMAST).

 

Other collaborations include the National University of Singapore, the Department of

Homeland Security, the Prince George’s County Fire and EMS, and the Office of Attending

Physician of the U.S. Capitol.

 

Academic Health Center collaboratives include the University of Maryland, The University

of Pittsburgh, The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio, the Mayo Clinic,

Phoenix, AZ and the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey CA (NPS). The NPS and USU

have partnered since 2013 to develop and deliver a one year graduate level certificate in

healthcare simulation.
