The UAB Office of Interprofessional Simulation and the Pediatric Simulation Center at Children's of Alabama joined forces under the umbrella of the UAB Simulation Consortium to both demonstrate our continued partnership in seeking to improve healthcare through the use of simulation and to seek accreditation from SSH. 

After acceptance of the application in May of 2016, a site visit was took place on November 17-18, 2016 on location at UAB and Children's of Alabama. During this two-day visit, three site visitors representing SSH's Accreditation Committee toured both facilities and met with key stakeholders, users, faculty, and staff of both sim centers. After careful review by SSH, the UAB Simulation Consortium accreditation was granted on December 19, 2016.

The UAB Simulation Consortium would like to thank the following people for their contributions and time to host a successful two-day site visit:

Dr. Carlos Estrada, Dr. Loring Rue, Dr. Mitch Cohen, Dr. Robert Rich, Dr. Scott Buchalter, Dr. Emily Boohaker, Dr. Muhannad Almubarak, Dr. Kelley Catron, Dr. Samuel Strachan, Dr. Nathaniel Swinger, Amy Hobbs, Aisha Stanton, Jamie Hammock, Amanda Segars, Liz Kudrika, Abigail Calamatti, Sara Owens, and all of the dedicated members of COA-PSC and OIPS who worked so diligently and tirelessly to make this happen.
