Vision Statement

The MSU simulation sites will be nationally emulated centers for the development of innovative pedagogy and methodologies, evidence-based activities and competency-based educational programs for healthcare professionals or health systems to improve patient outcomes.

• Competency-based assessment of learners
• Promotion of interprofessional teaching, learning and collaborations
• Simulation-based programs promoting land-grant, statewide and global initiatives
• Support of research to improve healthcare education, processes and outcomes
