The Simulation Program

An integral part of the Children’s Health℠ Learning and Leadership Institute, the program supports the entire Children’s Health System of Texas (CHST) in providing healthcare simulation and educational technologies to our interprofessional and multidisciplinary learners. The Simulation Program, or “Sim Lab,” began in 2006 with a single infant simulator, and it has grown into a state-of-the-art facility that now occupies more than 3,000 square feet featuring three simulation rooms and a wide range of simulators from neonate to adult and task trainers that can be used within the center or in the clinical or pre-hospital setting. This provides learners the opportunity to practice high-risk low frequency scenarios in a psychologically safe environment where they are free to learn from their challenges.

The Children’s Health℠ Simulation Program is open to collaborating and partnering with organizations and individuals who share our mission to make life better for children by improving patient safety, through the use of healthcare simulation.
