These monthly sessions are aimed at providing faculty with knowledge about all aspects of educational simulation implementation. Faculty will provide an overview of an actual simulation implemented in the UTHSC Sim Center, discuss best practices in simulation education and provide simulation resources for faculty. By attending these sessions, Faculty participants will be able to 1) identify best practices in simulation pedagogy; 2) acquire knowledge of current UTHSC sim activities and 3) network with colleagues for potential inter-professional simulation activities.

Lunch will be provided.
