UCF NORTH FLORIDA EMERGENCY MEDICINE

Simulation Built for Real Emergency Medicine

Dr. Evan Stern, our Simulation Education Director, has formal training in simulation and leads a program built around high-fidelity, team-based, and in-situ learning. You will not find a more comprehensive or better run program.

Simulation is designed to feel less like a separate lab activity and more like an extension of clinical training — from individual procedures to high-acuity team performance and educational scholarship.

How Residents Train

From Procedures to Resuscitation

Residents and students train across the spectrum of emergency care — from procedures such as lumbar puncture to neonatal resuscitation and complex team-based emergencies.

Beyond the Sim Lab

Training extends into the emergency department through pop-up simulation and HALO days, with nurses, medics, and other members of the care team participating in interprofessional scenarios.

Certifying Exam Preparation

Simulation is incorporated into preparation for the evolving emergency medicine certifying-exam format.

Teach & Create

Simulation Scholarship

Residents and students can help design, write, present, and publish simulation-based educational scenarios.
