Welcome to the Clinical Simulation Laboratory at the University of Vermont, a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to excellence in healthcare education, training, and research. Our mission is to provide an immersive, hands-on learning environment that enhances clinical skills, fosters critical thinking, and promotes patient safety.

Simulation-based education has revolutionized healthcare training by allowing learners to practice and refine their skills in a safe and controlled setting. Through high-fidelity simulators, standardized patient interactions, and advanced medical technologies, we bridge the gap between theory and real-world practice. Our goal is to prepare future healthcare professionals to deliver compassionate, competent, and evidence-based care.

At the heart of our simulation center is a commitment to innovation and collaboration. We strive to create an interprofessional learning experience where learners from various healthcare disciplines can work together, reflecting the team-based approach essential in today’s healthcare system. Whether you are a student, faculty member, or practicing clinician, our lab offers opportunities for continuous learning, skill development, and professional growth.

I invite you to explore our facility, engage in our programs, and take full advantage of the resources available. 

Sincerely,

Daniel Ackil, DO, FACEP, FAAEM

Assistant Dean for Clinical Simulation
