NYSIM hosts 1st Annual Symposium for Administrators in Healthcare Simulation

On Thursday, June 2, 2016, The New York Simulation Center for the Health Sciences hosted its 1st Annual Symposium for Administrators in Healthcare Simulation. This symposium was conducted in collaboration with The Cleveland Clinic’s Simulation and Advanced Skills Center for Advanced Skills Train-ing. NYSIM welcomed over 25 simulation administrators from around the country for a day of plenary sessions, panels, and discussions. We were fortu-nate to have three speakers, including Dr. Morrison from MIT Sloan School of Management, who conducted a workshop on simulation center metrics. Following Dr. Morrison, NYULMC’s own Brian Nemiroff spoke regarding strategy map articulation. Lastly, Megan Sherman and Farrah Leland, JD from the Institute for Simulation in Healthcare at University of Washington (Seattle, WA), spoke about improving simulation center operations through creative staffing, and had participants play a simulation staffing game called “simopoly.”

NYSIM hopes that this symposium will be an annual event that rotates across simulation centers throughout the country and initiates conversations amongst simulation center administrators.
