Breaking Silos: Advancing Interdisciplinary Healthcare Simulations
While gaining momentum and popularity in higher education across many allied health disciplines, simulations can be challenging to create and implement, often leading programs to feel “trapped in a silo”. This presentation will discuss how Viterbo University enhanced interdisciplinary education opportunities through the use of simulation, highlighting the importance of collaboration, student and faculty buy-in, as well as campus and community support.
Learning Objectives
- Attendees of this session will be able to list key stakeholders both within and between various college departments that can help support clinical simulation.
- Attendees of this session will be able to describe strategies to enhance student and faculty buy-in for simulations to be successful and impactful.
- Attendees of this session will be able to formulate a minimum of one current barrier and one potential facilitator to overcome that barrier in order to enhance interdisciplinary simulation in their program.

I appreciate the clear presentation and personal perspectives that she shared and also appreciate how difficult the process was going from nothing to what they have now. Also love that much of this has been spearheaded by a SLP – great job!
Especially loved the structured step-by-step process of integration of interdisciplinary simulation.
It’s very timely and practical information, since we hear from our clinical sites that new grads are having trouble communicating with other disciplines. We have added that aspect to our sims. Also, on how to reach out to other disciplines on our campus because nursing is new and other areas might want to use our sim and collaborate.
Informative for tips for obtaining faculty and student buy in.
You recognized and discussed some of the issues we face every time we discuss this topic in our Simulation Committee Meetings. Communication is very important to student’s learning. The better we learn how to communicate, we will enhance the learning experience and keep improving.
