Welcome

The Northwestern McGaw Simulation Network will serve to formalize existing collaborations between the several clinical simulation facilities at the McGaw member institutions, and allow a forum for jointly planning the future of simulation at Northwestern.

We hope to support the needs of the entire continuum of medical education (medical student programs, GME, CME), other Feinberg health professions programs (e.g., physical therapy) and clinical teams throughout the medical center.

The Network will serve as a resource to guide program directors' development of educational and assessment strategies through simulation and will also facilitate and participate in educational research within the McGaw programs.
