Presenter

I have a broad background in critical care medicine, medical director of Children’s Simulation Center and formal training in quality and patient safety. I am member of the human factors and ergonomics society and the Society for Simulation in Healthcare resiliency (Safety III) group. In addition, I have successfully administered projects (e.g. staffing, research protections, budget), collaborated with other researchers, and produced several peer-reviewed publications. I have experience in Simulation based Hospital Design Testing and areas of expertise in simulation, adult learning and improvement science. I have published 3 manuscripts in the last year with several other manuscripts drafted regarding Simulation use in pre-construction (design) and post-construction environments (process). Additionally, I have spoken nationally and internationally on the subject at Simulation and Hospital Design Conferences. I among the nation’s leaders in this area, created reliable tools and executed the largest preconstruction design testing project in the United States. Lastly, I have mentored twenty post graduate fellows’ research studies all of which have led to successful PubMed publications.
