The Master of Science in Medical and
Healthcare Simulation (MSMS) program was fortunate to have Dr. William McGaghie visit Drexel University on March 26th to participate in a synchronous web session highlighting Simulation
Based Mastery Learning. The MSMS students had the opportunity to review
content online and prepare questions for Dr. McGaghie during the Assessment
Course.
The session was very well received by all; “I
really enjoyed Dr. McGaghie, it is so amazing that we get to speak with all of
the simulation ‘powerhouses’ that have advanced this field. He knows the
struggles we see yet his optimism is so inspirational” said Susan Coffey Zern,
MD, MSMS student and director of the Virtual Education and Simulation
Training Center for Christiana Care Health System in Newark, DE.
