The Johns Hopkins Medicine Simulation Center is utilizing exciting and innovative methods to enable the medical institution to
further achieve the tripartite mission of patient care, teaching, and research.
Through annual competencies, continued education, and new product education, the Simulation Center helps to improve
safety within patient care.
The educational mission seeks to teach students and trainees better diagnostic and communication skills using video assessments.
The Center will also allow nursing, respiratory therapy, medical students and house-staff to learn and practice procedures “on plastic” before performing procedures on patients, ideally enhancing both the educational experience AND patient safety. In addition to skill enhancement, the Center also serves the purpose of assessments and offers certification or credentialing required by various regulatory bodies.
