Whether the medical practitioner is a new resident, an ICU nurse, a young battlefield medic or an experienced surgeon, the traditional method of learning a new technique has been to observe or read about a new technique, then attempt it on a patient. Simulation and using the “virtual environment” can accelerate the introduction and integration of new technologies into the clinical care. Simulation integrates tools, team training and virtual environments for scenario testing into one compressive philosophy intent on improving confidence, competence, operational performance and patient outcomes.

A collaborative partnership across CIMIT member hospitals and universities , the CIMIT Boston Simulation Consortium builds upon the success of the individual institutional simulation centers and Risk Management Foundation (RMF/CRICO) of the Harvard Medical Institutions and unifies the Boston community as a worldwide hub for healthcare simulation. The collective experience and resources of these premier simulation centers offer an unparalleled opportunity to partner with academia, government and industry to advance the field of healthcare simulation and to fully integrate clinical simulation as a quality and safety tool in health care practice.
