Our Vision and Mission

The vision of Carolinas Simulation Center is to operate a regionally and nationally prominent, accredited, multidisciplinary simulation center to meet system-wide and regional needs for simulation training.

The center will enhance the quality of healthcare and patient safety using the full spectrum of clinical simulation in the training and assessment of healthcare professionals and the development of cutting-edge educational research, ultimately for the benefit of our patients.

Our Mission Statement

The mission of Carolinas Simulation Center is to promote quality and patient safety, enhance education, and develop research through excellence in simulation-based training and assessment.

Enterprise Simulation Strategy

In 2021, an enterprise simulation advisory board was established to consider future needs in experiential learning across the larger Atrium Health enterprise. This advisory board is co-chaired by Dawn Swiderski, MSN, RN, CCRN-K, CHSE, FSSH (Carolinas Simulation Center) and JaNae Joyner, PhD, MHA (The Center for Experiential and Applied Learning).

Enterprise Simulation Mission

To transform healthcare safety, quality, education and teamwork for all through experiential learning and innovative research across the continuum of care.

Enterprise Simulation Vision

Together, we lead the transformation of healthcare and advance patient care for all. We deliver innovative experiential learning, optimize systems of care, catalyze trusted collaborations and develop global partnerships.
