The University of Chicago Medicine’s Simulation Center exists to measurably improve the quality, safety, and experience of healthcare delivery through the application of cutting-edge simulation methods, systems thinking, human-centered design, and innovative technology.
“We do not rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training” – Archilochus
Safety
We apply simulation, often in-situ, to high-stress clinical situations, rare events, complex processes, and new facilities planning to identify and mitigate latent safety threats.
Digital Innovation
We serve as a real-world laboratory for testing the innovative use of technology to improve clinical outcomes and the care experience.
Building Teams
We apply simulation to develop skills and iterate processes that promote interdisciplinary teamwork and effective communication.
Surgical Simulation
We serve as a hub for hands-on surgical training, leveraging cadaveric labs, virtual reality, and robotic training.
Resuscitation
We offer high-quality training across the health system to develop and strengthen skills and understanding in resuscitation and life support. These courses are accredited by the American Heart Association (AHA).
Simulation Methods
We develop expertise in simulation methods to integrate simulation as a method for hands-on training across the health system.
