Faculty members in the University of Michigan Medical School and the University of Michigan Health System conduct research in the use of simulation for medical education and clinical training. These faculty researchers represent multiple departments and specialty practices, which provides the clinical simulation center with breadth and depth in its assessment of simulation technologies for diverse and variable medical applications.

UMCSC has played a pivotal role in simulating the “human-fidelity” in a “virtual-disaster” environment. In a grant funded by the CDC (Center for Disease Control), pre-programmed mannequins have been used to simulate humans in shock from the aftermath of a disaster.
