Position Summary & Description

This position is posted in accordance with the (SCUPA) Collective Bargaining Unit.

This position reports directly to the Executive Director of the Simulation and plays a vital operational role in supporting the development and delivery of simulation-based education aligned with the College's mission of innovative, rurally-focused osteopathic medical education.

The Simulation Coordinator position is essential to ensure that all aspects of daily clinical simulation operations are effectively coordinated - including scheduling, inventory management, equipment maintenance and readiness, scenario logistics, and learner/faculty support - to ensure consistent, high-quality simulation experiences and efficient Simulation Center workflow.

Working closely with the Founding Director, faculty, and staff, the coordinator will support implementation of simulation activities across the curriculum and contribute to a dynamic learning environment that incorporates hands-on, experiential learning. This includes supporting simulation modalities such as high- and low-fidelity manikins, standardized patients, task trainers, and emerging technologies.

The coordinator will also assist with planning and execution of interprofessional education (IPE) activities involving osteopathic medical students and students from other disciplines such as nursing, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, and related health professions. In alignment with the College's rural mission, the role may include support for mobile and distributed simulation experiences, including potential deployment of simulation resources in mobile clinical units and affiliated rural hospitals and training sites throughout Pennsylvania.

• Coordinate scheduling and logistics for all Simulation Center activities, including course-based sessions, assessments, interprofessional education events, and special programming.
• Prepare simulation spaces, equipment, and materials to ensure readiness for all scheduled activities.
• Maintain inventory of supplies, equipment, and consumables; order and restock materials as needed.
• Perform routine maintenance, cleaning, and basic troubleshooting of simulation equipment and technology.
• Provide operational support during simulation sessions, including assisting faculty and learners with equipment and scenario execution.
• Support standardized patient activities, including scheduling, room preparation, and session logistics.
• Collaborate with faculty and staff to ensure simulation activities align with curricular goals and timelines.
• Assist with implementation of simulation-based assessments, including OSCE setup and breakdown.
• Track utilization data and assist with documentation for reporting, accreditation, and quality improvement.
• Support development and execution of interprofessional simulation activities across multiple programs.
• Coordinate logistics for mobile simulation and off-site training activities, including transportation and setup of equipment.
• Ensure adherence to safety protocols, operational procedures, and best practices within the Simulation Center.
• Assist with orientation and training of faculty, staff, and learners on simulation equipment and processes.
• Provide excellent customer service and support to learners, faculty, and visitors.
• Perform other duties as assigned in support of the Simulation Center and IUPCOM mission.
