Maintain data integrity and compliance with institutional and regulatory requirements (e.g. HIPAA, FERPA where applicable).

Professional Development & Training

Stay current with best practices in simulation operations, educational theory, and emerging technologies.

Pursue relevant certifications (e.g., Certified Healthcare Simulation Operations Specialist, CHSOS) and engage in professional organizations.
