SimLEARN Certified Simulation Centers
By: VHA SimLEARN Staff, VHA SimLEARN, Orlando, Florida
SimLEARN is excited to announce the continuation of certification for Veterans Health Administration (VHA) simulation centers. The goal for national certification is to continue a structured program that supports improved local delivery of simulation-based training, augments access to developed instructional curricula, and increases continuity across the VHA. Certification ensures prioritization of the priorities of the VA Secretary and Executive In Charge. Facility Simulation Certification has been in existence since July, 2015 and remains one avenue for continuous process improvement and reflects the principles of highly reliable organizations.
SimLEARN congratulates the newest SimLEARN Certified Simulation Centers:
