What We Do

Founded in 1993, CMS was one of the world’s first healthcare simulation centers. Two decades of simulation training to improve quality of care later, CMS continues lead the global field.

Simulation training at CMS gives healthcare providers a new and enlightening perspective on how to handle real medical situations. Through high-fidelity scenarios that simulate genuine crisis management situations, the CMS experience can open new chapters in the level of healthcare quality that participants provide.

At CMS the focus is on communication, collaboration and crisis management in order to develop skills and teamwork behaviors that are best learned actively under realistic conditions. CMS has run over two thousand courses and trained thousands of participants using its innovative and challenging scenarios. We are proud to feature:

  • A multidisciplinary, expert staff, affiliated with some of the world’s most well-known and well-respected hospitals, medical universities and colleges
  • Exceptionally high-quality and innovative programs in full-environment facilities
  • A breadth of course offerings for clinicians, educators, and administrators
