Simulation Leadership Intensive

Solving Problems for Simulation Leaders

You’ve been told that you’re in charge of a simulation program, but no one has offered you training on what you should do next.

Your simulation training taught you debriefing and case design, but no one taught you about managing finances, people, or logistics.

You’ve spent great effort to hire and train simulation program staff, but somehow they keep leaving, sending you back to square one.

You’re not alone: the Simulation Leadership Intensive is about solving the problems of managing a sim program that no one prepared you for. Whether you are an experienced program leader or a brand new one, our faculty team can guide you forward.
