Healthcare Modeling and Simulation Certificate Program:



This Healthcare Certificate Program is a collaborative effort between the NPS Modeling, Virtual Environments, and Simulation (MOVES) Institute and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS). The certificate program consists of four courses offered sequentially on a one course per quarter basis. The Healthcare Certificate courses explore the theoretical foundations of learning and training, research methods for healthcare training, simulation technologies for healthcare training, and management of simulation training centers. The instruction of the four-course asynchronous program begins in October of each year and ends in September.

The certificate program is aimed at physicians, nurses, and simulation center managers who want to accelerate improvements in simulation technology for healthcare training.



Scope
