As of 3/16/20 UAB Clinical Simulation/Office of Interprofessional Simulation for Innovative Clinical Practice is prioritizing training for COVID-19 to help minimize its spread and protect healthcare team members. In the interests of the health and safety of students, faculty, staff, and our community, all other simulation is on hiatus until we reassess. We are working via email, phone and/or video conferencing to meet essential needs and be prepared to start back up when possible. Specific questions regarding simulation events should be sent to simulation@uab.edu. You can stay up-to-date about Coronavirus by going to this website. In addition, we are posting PPE resources on UAB Medicine ONE and our website.
