This fellowship is not currently accepting applications.
The Multidisciplinary Simulation Center at Mayo Clinic's campus in Phoenix, Arizona, offers a one-year Simulation Medicine Fellowship.
This fellowship focuses on:
- Principles of adult learning theory
- Advantages and limitations of simulation-based education as it applies to health care
- Simulation typology
- Operational techniques appropriate to a world-class experiential learning center
- Publishing work in academic journals related to simulation medicine
Fellows in the program also become knowledgeable in simulation-based technologies, participate in the daily operations of the Mayo Clinic Multidisciplinary Simulation Center, and actively engage in the team process that's necessary for the effective functioning of a medical simulation center.
