The Office of Interprofessional Simulation for Innovative Clinical Practice is a joint venture between UAB health schools and the UAB Health System. The primary role of the Office is to support and track Interprofessional and other UAB health system simulation experiences. Support services include facilitator development courses and simulation administrative, educational, and technical expertise.
If you are interested in further information about simulation, please contact the Office of Interprofessional Simulation at simulation@uab.edu.
On Friday, December 14, the Office of Interprofessional Simulation partnered with leadership from the new Gardendale Freestanding Emergency Department to test patient flow processes through a “Day in the Life” simulation. Approximately 115 participants attended the simulation in various staff, patient, or observer roles designed to collect feedback and uncover any potential latent safety threats that may exist in the new space.
Registration is now open for the 2019 Tennessee Simulation Alliance Simulation Conference. The 2019 conference will be hosted in Knoxville, TN on March 28 and 29. Submit your abstracts 
To highlight the importance and the difficulty of high-quality chest compressions, OIPS partnered with UAB Quality and Patient Safety to host the Chest Compression Challenge.
This year, eight members from OIPS traveled to Kansas to deliver breakout sessions and workshops for the conference marking the first time the conference has featured a simulation team instead of an individual.
