Scheduling Events

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 Calendar of Events page.
    2. If the Center is available, you are ready to make a reservation. Access the Health Sciences AV & Room Scheduling website. 
    3. 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".
