Scheduling

Use of the Center requires an approved faculty sponsor who will be responsible for the training session and equipment used. Simulation Training Center (STC) reservations should be submitted by UCSD Health Sciences faculty or staff ONLY.  All reservation requests will be reviewed and approved by the Medical Education Administration before scheduling.

Please schedule your event for the STC at least two weeks in advance to allow enough time to make all appropriate arrangements to ensure your event is successful.

Follow the steps below to schedule:

  1. Check the availability of the Simulation Training Center for your desired date/time by accessing the Health Sciences AV & Room Scheduling website.  Instructions are shown on the Schedule of Events page.

  2. Login using your UCSD email account credentials and scroll down to the Simulation Center Requests (SOM) option at the bottom of the 'My Reservations Templates' section and click "Book Now".

  4. Click the blue plus sign (+) to the left of the desired room for your event.  The room must be open (unscheduled) for the system to allow you to schedule the room.  If you want to include another room for that same date/time, just click the appropriate plus sign (+) for the additional rooms.  If you need another room for a different date or time for this same event request, enter new desired date/time in the left panel. Selected rooms will be displayed near the top of the page.
