MS Medical/Healthcare Simulation
Course Overview
This two-year, primarily online Master of Science in Medical/Healthcare Simulation provides the foundational expertise required to design, manage, and lead cutting-edge simulation programs. The curriculum integrates critical areas like adult learning theory, scenario design, and center management with a unique, hands-on component. Students culminate their studies by applying their knowledge during an intensive week at a state-of-the-art simulation lab, working with high-fidelity mannequins and standardized patients.
Key Program Highlights
- Complete a rigorous Master of Science degree almost entirely through a flexible online format
- Master core competencies including simulation design, assessment, and educational theory
- Gain practical, hands-on experience during a required on-site immersion at a high-fidelity simulation lab
- Learn to manage the operational and logistical challenges of running a simulation center
- Develop skills using standardized patients, high-fidelity mannequins, and task trainers
