We represent the very best in quality & innovation within an academic environment. Our focus is on building evidence for effective practice and translating that evidence-based knowledge to practice & policy environments.
Located in New York City, Columbia University offers rich opportunities with an infrastructure that provides the foundation for scholarly success. Columbia Nursing is a close-knit & collaborative team that partners on research, education & clinical experiences, and shares a vision for the future of healthcare in this country. We are internationally known & clinically unrivaled with recognition for excellence in research & curricular advancements as part of one of the world's most renowned medical centers.
Our faculty thrive in our new state-of-the-art building that includes a two-story simulation center. A career with Columbia Nursing has never been so inviting!
Columbia School of Nursing invites applications for the position of Director, Interprofessional Simulation Education. The successful candidate will lead our state-of-the-art simulation center, guiding the integration of simulation-based education with clinical nursing education. The Director of Interprofessional Simulation Education is responsible for leading the development, implementation, and evaluation of advanced simulation education programs, including the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies.
This position aims to enhance student learning, clinical competencies, and interprofessional collaboration in alignment with national nursing standards. The Director will report directly to the Assistant Dean of Simulation and will collaborate with faculty and clinical partners to incorporate simulation into both didactic and clinical experiences, ensuring high-quality, safe and effective learning outcomes for all nursing students.
Design and develop simulation curricula that aligns with the standards of the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) and the International Nursing Association of Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL).
Ensure simulation learning experiences are aligned with nursing competencies, standards, and current best practices, incorporating cutting-edge technologies.
Interface with didactic and clinical faculty to bridge coursework with real-world settings, ensuring simulation-based learning is integrated seamlessly into the curriculum.
Work with faculty to create comprehensive simulation programs that enhance learning outcomes and align with academic goals.
Develop, implement, and evaluate simulation scenarios that are leveled to the learner's year of study.
Design pre-learning activities (e.g., admit-to-simulation tickets), develop detailed pre- and debrief scripts for faculty, and utilize situational awareness rooms to ensure patient/provider safety during simulation.
Implement both formative and summative assessments of learners to evaluate performance and guide future learning.
Collect and analyze simulation learning experience evaluations (both learner and faculty) to drive continuous improvement.
Ensure simulation scenarios and learning experiences are scaffolded across levels of learning (e.g., from entry-level students to advanced practitioners), allowing for progressive skill development and competency building.
Lead the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies into simulation learning environments to enhance realism, adaptability, and individualized learning experiences.
Collaborate with faculty and technology specialists to design VR/AI-based simulations that allow for diverse clinical scenarios and provide real-time feedback to learners.
