Session Overview

Overview:

The most expensive mistakes in healthcare simulation center planning often happen before the first wall is drawn. Too many projects begin with room counts, equipment lists, and budget targets before the institution has clearly defined the learning model those spaces must support. This webinar reframes simulation planning around educational intent, showing how curriculum, learner progression, faculty workflow, debriefing, operations, and long-term adaptability should guide early planning decisions.

Using a practical seven-step framework, the webinar will help healthcare educators, simulation leaders, campus planners, and design teams align academic goals with space, technology, and operational requirements. Participants will learn how to move from “we need a sim lab” to a more disciplined planning process that supports better learning outcomes, more effective faculty use, smoother daily operations, and facilities that can evolve as programs change.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Understand why simulation planning should begin with the learner journey rather than a room list or equipment package.
  2. Learn how educational outcomes should shape space planning, technology strategy, staffing assumptions, and workflow.
  3. Identify the different planning implications of skills practice, standardized patients, immersive simulation, assessment, and team-based training.
  4. Recognize why debriefing, storage, turnover, control, observation, and simulation operations must be treated as core design drivers.
  5. Apply a year-five mindset to distinguish what should be specialized, what should remain flexible, and how to avoid decisions that limit future growth.
