Degree Awarded: MS

Health Care Simulation

In the MS program in health care simulation, students learn to influence the design, operations and evaluation of educational health care simulation in academic or practice settings. Students develop evidence-based scenario design, use technology-enhanced environments replicating real patient experiences with life-like high fidelity computer manikins or simulated participants, and employ operations techniques. Through learning and working with their peers, faculty and leaders from multiple disciplines such as health care, sociology, technology, the arts and public policy, students will gain experience in creating transdisciplinary solutions. Simulation in health care education aims to improve competencies in communication, teamwork, critical thinking, professional identity and safety. The simulated learning environment provides a psychologically safe space where you can make mistakes without risk to real patients. This is a hybrid program with most required courses offered in an iCourse format, including both asynchronous and synchronous modalities. Some courses are offered in seven-and-a-half-week accelerated sessions. Several required courses include an immersion experience on the ASU campus for several days at the end of the semester as well as one day on campus at the beginning of the semester.
