The Clinical Skills & Simulation Center at GCSOM

The role of the Clinical Skills and Simulation Center (CSSC) at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine is primarily to support the simulation-based teaching and assessment of clinical skills across the four years of the Doctor of Medicine (MD) curriculum. It also uses high-fidelity simulation to help first- and second-year MD students understand the clinical relevance of the basic sciences, to collaborate with regional colleges and universities in interprofessional education and to teach the basics of patient safety.
