The Real Sim Center, High Point
How High Point University Manages Simulation Across 8+ Healthcare Programs
Learn how one simulation director coordinates PA, pharmacy, nursing, dental, and athletic training programs.
Managing a simulation center that serves a single program is challenging enough. Managing one that supports eight or more disciplines – each with different curricula, scheduling needs, and assessment requirements – requires a different playbook entirely.
In this episode of The Real Sim Center, Billy Vaile, Director of Simulation at High Point University, and Diamond Melendez, Director of Standardized Clinical Experiences for the Fred Wilson Scholl of Pharmacy, share how they’ve built a coordinated, high-functioning simulation operation across multiple disciplines.
They discuss the communication structures that prevent scheduling chaos, how they use LeanringSpace to track longitudinal student performance data, and the staffing model that transformed Billy from a one-person operation into a leader of simulation champions embedded in each department. Diamond also shares how here standardized patient program delivers 40+ simulation encounters per student across three years of didactic learning-and why soliciting stakeholder feedback has been essential to continuous improvement.
