Help train tomorrow’s healthcare providers by developing, implementing and evaluating simulated clinical experiences.
Medical simulation provides the means to deliver a standardized curriculum through safe, innovative and effective methods. As a student in the medical simulation program, you will learn how to integrate medical curriculum into simulations in a way that helps students master the subject through varying degrees of difficulty, clinical variations and individualized learning.
PCOM's medical simulation certificate program is available at our Suwanee, GA or Philadelphia, PA locations and can be completed online for those with access to an approved simulation center. Online students will be required to make three visits to the Suwanee campus during the program (once each term).
REQUEST PROGRAM INFORMATIONBoth options include the same coursework. View our application requirements page for additional details.
Upon completion of this program, students will have medical simulation skills including educational learning theories, simulation building, debriefing techniques and more.
