Simulation Program: Menu of Services

The AAP Simulation Program offers hands-on, immersive educational experiences using advanced simulators, standardized patients, virtual/augmented reality, and other state-of-the-art technology. These events are supported by the AAP simulation staff and can also be in collaboration with the AAP Section on Simulation & Innovative Learning Methods (SoSILM). Simulation can be integrated into educational learning. Standalone simulation support can also be offered.

Below is a complete list of services the AAP Simulation Program offers.
