Participate in budget management and recommend cost-saving or sustainable practices.

Interdisciplinary Liaison & Communication

Bridge clinical faculty, IT / AV staff, technical support, and administrative leadership.

Translate technical / clinical language to ensure clear collaboration across teams.

Assist with training and onboarding of new SOS staff or other simulation support personnel.

Research, Data & Ethics

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.

Train faculty, staff, and learners in simulator usage, safety, setup, and best practice debrief protocols.
