Our Team
The simulation center provides immersive education that mimics real-world experiences without real-world risks. Providing this level of education requires efforts from the center staff, the faculty, instructors, and educators who lead the simulation activities, and the students and learners.
The Simulation Director provides leadership in all aspects (design, development, and implementation) of simulation-based activity in the Simulation Center. She creates and implements the evaluation plan to validate existing courses, scenarios, and initiatives to ensure the effectiveness of the educational programs. The Director serves as the school’s liaison and partners with the College of Health Sciences in developing interprofessional activities. The Director is responsible for the Center’s budget and strategic direction.
Simulation specialists implement and deliver high-fidelity simulation activities using manikins and skills trainers. Collaborating with faculty and the Simulation Director, they are responsible for “bringing the show to life” with voice acting and special effects makeup (moulage) that allow learners to suspend their disbelief. They are also technically savvy in knowing how to program, run, and troubleshoot simulation equipment and the clinical equipment that is found in actual patient care environments.

The Operations Manager provides operational and administrative support for the Simulation Center and the Simulation Director. The Operations Manager is responsible for gathering and tracking metrics, assisting the Simulation Director in establishing policies and procedures, supporting day-to-day operations, and assist with both the budgetary and strategic planning processes.
