The mission of the Center for Human Simulation and Patient Safety is to provide opportunities for deliberate practice of the skills required by healthcare professionals, in efforts to enhance the quality of care that is provided to our patients.

Experiential learning in medical simulation allows learners to apply theoretical and abstract knowledge (perhaps learned in a lecture or textbook) to a concrete experience. Learners are given multiple avenues for growth as a healthcare professionals – through various opportunities to practice application of knowledge, feedback given by their instructors,  and through the process of self-reflection.
