Center for Advanced Medical Simulation

Simulation Fellowships

The Center for Advanced Medical Simulation (CAMS) at Mount Sinai West pioneered the first Simulation Fellowship Program in New York City as early as 2007. The one-year program provides experiential learning opportunities to eligible physicians with a strong interest in simulation to improve healthcare. The CAMS Fellowship Program has played a vital role in helping to educate and train healthcare professionals to improve the quality and safety of patient care in a safe learning environment using simulation.  

Over the course of the year, they develop curricula, run simulation sessions, debrief learners, and implement their scholarly project, under the guidance and mentorship of clinical faculty experienced in healthcare simulation education. The program is a joint collaborative work of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Emergency Medicine which seeks to develop future leaders within the field of healthcare simulation.
