Director's Corner: Changes at SimLEARN
By: Eric Bruns, MBA, Executive Director, SimLEARN
Since our founding in 2009, SimLEARN has been an acronym for Simulation “Learning, Education and Research Network.” As we continue to grow and adapt under the DEAN’s Office of Healthcare Innovation and Learning (OHIL), we want our name, mission, and vision to reflect all that we do here at SimLEARN. That’s why we’ve rebranded LEARN to stand for Learning, Evaluation, Assessment, and Research Network. We are thrilled to have the unique work we do, from developing curricula and best practices to innovative training that meets the needs of our Veterans, clearly defined in our new acronym!
