Our Simulation Laboratory in the Peterson Family Health Sciences Hall will be used to facilitate inter-professional collaboration and learning experience to reduce burnout, address mental health, and substance use disorders among health professionals. The Simulation Lab provides a foundation for critical reasoning, synthesis, and analysis of increasing complex care scenarios through high-fidelity clinical simulation and high-quality debriefing practices. We will expand our use of simulation practices by developing inter-professional case scenarios that center on mental health challenges and substance use disorders among health workers.
