Provide outstanding leadership, access and training opportunities in simulation for Oregon healthcare providers in the community of undergraduate students, graduate residents and fellows, graduate level nursing students, hospital-based patient care services and practicing and research faculty. Provide national leadership in the implementation of simulation education and the development of simulation technology.

Our learner population is broad and we have high utilization of simulation with an average of over 29,000 simulation exposures annually across the institution. The highest utilization is in nursing, with full integration of simulation in their student population. Because of our physical location we have adopted a distributive model leveraging four simulation sites/facilities on our Portland campus.  We have four satellite nursing sites, and are active users of in-situ simulation.    

Varied

Dynamically and with constant forethought.

Our faculty has been very active nationally and internationally. Some highlights include:

• OHSU was a primary leader in the formation of the first and most comprehensive statewide simulation alliance – The Oregon Simulation Alliance (OSA)
• Bonnie Driggers, Michael Seropian, Paula Gubrud-Howe have all been Chair or members of the executive Board of the OSA
• Mary Cato – An active and current member for the NLN/Laerdal project
• Paula Gubrud-Howe – Project lead for Oregon Consortium for Nursing Education
• Michael Seropian – Is the current Treasurer and a Board Member of Society for Simulation in Healthcare
• Jesika Gavilanes – developed comprehensive SimTech course for the use by Oregon Simulation Alliance
• Jeanne-Marie Guise – Program chair for IMSH ’09 for Workshops
• Jeanne-Marie Guise – AHRQ grant awardee
• John Hunter American College of Surgeons simulation site reviewer
• Michael Seropian member on ASA simulation education committee
• Michael Seropian, Chair, Finance committee for the Society for Simulation in Healthcare
• Involved in the design of over 16 simulation facilities worldwide
• Developed simulation scenarios for Prentice Hall
• Formal Simulation Instructor credentialing process in place
• Conducted multiple statewide and citywide simulation readiness assessments.
• Our faculty have trained well over 350 simulation instructors in simulation education.
