The Center for Simulation and Research is dedicated to developing innovative course formats that enhance learning and have demonstrated statistically significant improvements in learning outcomes. With a diverse catalog of over 160 courses spanning multiple disciplines, the center serves more than 15,000 learners annually. These courses are designed to provide hands-on, immersive experiences that bridge the gap between theory and practice. Examples of these courses include:
Designed originally in conjunction with a chief pediatric resident who recognized the unique learning needs required to practice both first-on-scene team leadership and resuscitation in an outpatient setting. RESUS runs on a rotating, three-year curriculum, teaching a variety of technical and non-technical skills in a mixed intern-senior resident team setting.
Designed with the intention of providing skills to acute care nurses to recognize a clinically deteriorating patient and manage their care for the first 3-5 minutes before the critical care team is able to assume care.
Procedural training course developed by one of the simulation fellows to develop.
Through a collaboration with Amy Florez, APP with the Heart Institute, the CSR helped develop a course format to provide education about complex cardiac conditions to providers across the nation.
Sepsis is a leading cause of pediatric mortality. While there has been significant effort towards improving adherence to evidence-based care, gaps remain. We developed a multiuser virtual reality simulation that demonstrated significant differences in sepsis recognition between experienced and novice participants.
