Anticipated program elements include:

  • Sophisticated standardized patient (SP) program that supports basic and advanced clinical skills training for all types of clinicians from novices to community practitioners.
  • High fidelity patient simulations (simulators, educational technology, and facilities capable of supporting the full range of clinical domains and activities).
  • Virtual and mixed reality simulators (e.g., partial task trainers for arthroscopy, endoscopy, laparoscopy, bronchoscopy, central vascular interventions, etc.)
  • Computer-based educational software (e.g., for learning cardiovascular physiology).
  • Close integration of technically based simulation and the SP program in a mutually supportive center.
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration of faculty and staff to foster CELA’s mission and goals.
  • Close collaboration with VUMC (e.g., Learning Center, Informatics Center, School of Nursing) and the general campus (e.g., College of Education).
  • Research component that advances faculty career development and VUMC strategic plan.
