Simulation Coordinator Nursing

The Simulation Coordinator serves as the lead resource for simulation-based education, driving the integration of high-fidelity, low-fidelity, and virtual simulation technologies to enhance student learning, clinical judgment, and workforce readiness. This position is critical to ensuring that simulation is intentionally designed, consistently implemented, and effectively utilized to demonstrate student competency, including achievement of End-of-Program Student Learning Outcomes (EPSLOs) and Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs).

The Simulation Coordinator provides leadership in faculty training, simulation implementation, competency validation, and technology integration, ensuring alignment with the INACSL Standards of Best Practice:
Simulation, Ohio Board of Nursing regulations, and accreditation requirements.

This role directly supports the Nursing Department’s priorities related to student success, clinical readiness, regulatory compliance, and the expanded use of simulation to supplement clinical learning experiences. This is a temporary, full-time grant‑funded position within the Nursing Department with a 200-day annual contract beginning 7/1/2026 and ending 10/31/2027.
