Simulation Director information

What is the difference between Simulation Director vs Simulation Coordinator?

AspectSimulation DirectorSimulation Coordinator
CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in healthcare, education, or related fields; certifications like CHSE or CSESimilar credentials, often with focus on coordination and logistics
Work EnvironmentLeads simulation programs, manages teams, and oversees complex scenariosSupports simulation activities, manages schedules, and handles logistics
Industry UsageUsed in healthcare, military, and education sectors for high-level simulation managementCommonly found in healthcare and training institutions for operational support

The Simulation Director typically holds a leadership role, overseeing the entire simulation program, while the Simulation Coordinator focuses on logistical support and execution. Both roles require relevant credentials, but the Director has broader responsibilities in planning and management.

What is a simulation director?

A Simulation Director is a professional responsible for overseeing the planning, development, and execution of simulation-based training or educational programs. They work in industries such as healthcare, aviation, military, or engineering to ensure realistic scenarios are created for learning and assessment purposes. Their duties often include managing simulation staff, maintaining equipment, developing curricula, and evaluating program effectiveness. Simulation Directors also collaborate with subject matter experts to ensure simulations meet educational or operational objectives.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a simulation director?

To excel as a Simulation Director, you need expertise in simulation-based education, curriculum design, and a relevant healthcare or academic background, often with a master's or doctoral degree. Familiarity with simulation software, audiovisual systems, and certifications such as CHSE (Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator) are typically required. Strong leadership, organizational, and communication skills help in managing teams and collaborating across departments. These competencies ensure effective, realistic training environments that enhance learner outcomes and institutional goals.

What are some common challenges simulation directors face when coordinating multidisciplinary teams for complex projects?

Simulation Directors often work with multidisciplinary teams that include engineers, subject matter experts, software developers, and project managers. One common challenge is ensuring effective communication across these diverse groups to align technical requirements and project goals. Additionally, balancing the technical accuracy of simulations with project deadlines and resource constraints can be demanding. Successful Simulation Directors foster collaboration through regular team meetings, clear documentation, and promoting a culture of open feedback, which helps address these challenges efficiently.

Job Description:
The Kansas College of Osteopathic Medicine (KansasCOM), located in Wichita, Kansas, invites applications for the position of Healthcare Simulation Technician (HST). This full-time staff role is dedicated to supporting the technical operations of the KansasCOM Simulation Center, ensuring high-quality execution of simulation-based education and procedural skills training for medical students.
The HST will work closely with the Simulation Director, Standardized Patient (SP) Coordinator, and faculty to maintain, operate, and troubleshoot a wide range of simulation equipment, medical task trainers, A/V systems, and learning technologies. This role is essential for daily equipment readiness, scenario set up and breakdown, and smooth functioning of all simulation events across the pre-clinical and clinical skills curriculum.
SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES:
Simulation Operations & Equipment Management
  • Set up, operate, program, maintain, and troubleshoot all high-fidelity manikins, task trainers, simulation software, and clinical equipment before, during, and after simulation events.
  • Install, configure, and support simulation technologies, audiovisual systems, debriefing platforms, computers, iPads, iSimulate devices, ultrasound units, CPR feedback systems, and related equipment.
  • Ensure all equipment is regularly charged, cleaned, inventoried, and stored properly.
  • Perform routine maintenance, software updates, system testing, and basic repairs; coordinate vendor support and servicing when needed.
  • Assist with the execution of scenarios by operating manikins, adjusting vitals, or supporting faculty in real-time adjustments.
  • Apply basic and advanced moulage techniques to enhance realism in trauma, behavioral health, and clinical scenarios.
  • Manage simulation recordings, archived materials, and system documentation while maintaining confidentiality and data security.

Event Setup & Facility Operations
  • Prepare, operate and set up simulation suites, inpatient and outpatient environments, and clinical skills labs for OSCEs, simulations, BLS/ACLS courses, ultrasound education, and procedural skills training.
  • Coordinate logistical support, equipment readiness, event and room scheduling in collaboration with faculty and the Director of Simulation.
  • Ensure simulation spaces remain organized, safe, functional and restock supplies post-event according to standard operating procedures.
  • Transport, prepare, and organize all necessary technology and physical materials.

Technology & A/V Support
  • Manage and troubleshoot CAE LearningSpace™ Enterprise for event documentation and A/V recording.
  • Set up and manage iPads, iSimulate devices, large screen TVs, ultrasound units, and CPR feedback systems.
  • Upload simulation data and recordings, ensuring proper documentation and access for faculty.

Inventory & Resource Management
  • Maintain up-to-date inventory of consumables, task trainers, AHA course materials and simulation equipment.
  • Order, organize, receive, label, and store incoming and donated supplies/equipments.
  • Monitor equipment condition, inventory levels, track expiration, damage, and usage to ensure operational readiness.

Faculty & Learner Support
  • Provide technical training and support to faculty, staff, and SPs on equipment and software use.
  • Support execution of standardized patient events, simulation activities and OSCEs.
  • Assist with standardized patient activities during occasional staffing shortages as directed by the Director of Simulation.
  • Provide support during OMM laboratories and practical examinations, including serving as a demonstration model when appropriate.

ACLS/BLS Course Support and Coordination
  • Assist with the planning and execution of ACLS and BLS training events, including set-up, classroom support and breakdown of CPR manikins and defibrillator trainers.
  • Maintain course rosters, track attendance, and manage event documentation in compliance with AHA guidelines.
  • Order and organize course-specific supplies and ensure all training materials are available and functioning.
  • Coordinate scheduling and logistical support in collaboration with faculty and the Simulation Director.

Additional Duties
  • Document maintenance activities, checklists, inventories and scenario setups.
