Students in our Medical Simulation AAS-T degree program use human simulators, programming, and a mix of special effects to engage in healthcare training.
The Medical Simulation Associate in Applied Science – Transfer degree prepares students for entry level employment in simulation laboratories. These simulation laboratories are currently being used in nursing instruction, hospital and medical provider training, and emergency response teams. To meet the growing need for training simulation professionals, the Medical Simulation program will develop students who can implement simulation scenarios, conduct manikin programming, establish maintenance standards, develop interpersonal relationships, and promote community engagement. Upon completion of the Medical Simulation Associate in Applied Science –Transfer degree, students are prepared to take industry certification exams validating their skills.
Goals and Outcomes
