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 improves patient safety and generates cost savings for the institution.
For these and many other reasons, we will always advise you to “SimFirst”, no matter the procedure, event, space or process.

As the UAB Emergency Department prepares to open its new mobile care units, an interprofessional health-care team thought to “SimFirst.” It’s the motto of UAB Clinical Simulation, which recently hosted a series of sims in the new units.
As part of Quality Week, which ran Oct. 15-20, Clin Sim hosted the Sim Room of Errors, an exercise open to all members of UAB Medicine, in which participants identify simulated patient safety errors that could negatively impact patient care.
The setting may be virtual, but the lessons are real. UAB Clinical Simulation has offered virtual reality learning since 2019, providing an ever-expanding variety of modules to health-care team members across UAB Medicine.
