ORLANDO, Fla. – The VHA SimLEARN National Simulation Center (NSC) was recently selected as one of four sites for the newly announced Office of Academic Affiliations (OAA) Advanced Fellowship in Health Professions Education Evaluation and Research. The selection was based on a competitive review process in response to a request for proposal released this past December.
The fellowship program is a 2-year, interprofessional fellowship focused on training clinical educators in the knowledge and skills needed to assess the interaction between the education programs in clinical settings and to develop, implement, assess and improve curricula in order to transform health professions education. It will be run in partnership with the educational leadership at the Orlando VA Medical Center (VAMC). In addition to the NSC, the other sites chosen to host this Advanced Fellowship program are the San Francisco VA Medical Center, Michael E. DeBakey VAMC in Houston and the National Center for Patient Safety at White River Junction VAMC in Vermont.
In conjunction with this announcement, SimLEARN is offering two, paid Advanced Fellowships in Health Professions Education Evaluation and Research. The fellowships will be located in Orlando, Florida at the VHA SimLEARN National Simulation Center.
