UAB Clinical Simulation develops, delivers, and supports procedural, immersive, and systems simulations carefully designed for learners. Our team of skilled professionals collaborates with content experts from the various involved professions to deliver valuable, high-quality simulation events.

Simulation is a proven training strategy for all members of the health care team. The simulated setting provides a psychologically safe environment for care providers to practice procedures and high-risk clinical situations. Simulation not only improves patient safety, but contributes to the financial health of UAB Medicine.

For these and many other reasons, we will always advise you to “SimFirst”, no matter the procedure, event, space or process.
