As the inaugural group of the Master of Science in Medical
& Healthcare Simulation (MSMS) program enters their second year of classes,
Drexel welcomes their second cohort of ten students into the program.
The new class hails from a diverse interprofessional
background, including registered nurses, physicians, a physician assistant,
oral surgical assistant and an anesthesia technician. Having such a dynamic group will surely lead
to interesting discussions revolving around trends in medical & healthcare
simulation in all fields.
The class has already had the opportunity to meet each other
in a virtual setting. After using a
VoiceThread® introduction to meet each other and the faculty, the students had
a virtual synchronous session to say hello and familiarize themselves with the
online course modalities. While many of
the students come from all over the United States and Puerto Rico, two students,
who are both from Wisconsin, realized they were only a couple hours away from
each other.
“Its wonderful to see the students are already beginning to
bond and exchange stories about their involvement in simulation. We are looking
forward to meeting our new class in person for our first practicum week in
October and are so excited to expand the curriculum for our inaugural class.” said
Sharon Griswold-Theodorson, MD, Director of the MSMS program.
