The SOM is dedicated to supporting research activities to advance medical education and the use of simulation.  If you have an idea for a simulation related research project or ISP please email simcenter@ucsd.edu to discuss your proposal.

To ensure that the deliberate practice taking place in the simulation center leads optimal skill acquisition, we ask that all activities be supervised by a provider who is skilled and capable of performing the procedure unsupervised in clinical practice.  If there is a skill or task that you would like to practice that doesn't fall into any existing training, please email us (simcenter@ucsd.edu) to discuss how to create a space for it.
