Item Term
1. Two to three months before, submit our online event request

Item Definition

The simulation team will initially meet to review the request, reserve the date (or offer alternatives), and assign staff. You will receive an email confirmation within a week or so.

Note: Standardized Patient cases are developed using the Faculty Blueprint for SP Cases and require six months' advance notice. After we receive your event request form, a member of our education team will contact you.

Note: If your activity requires a human cadaver, do not submit this form. Instead, please contact Caroline M. Kosnik with the Anatomy and Willed Body Program for further information, scheduling, and implementation.
