So you’re telling me that I can save over $240/hr on sim-center operational costs per room, with better training methods, all while increasing use and access? SIGN ME UP.
The medical simulation values we know today; tools built based on learning objectives, efficacy, utility, and measurable outcomes have been evolving since the early 90’s, but only recently have been proven to provide real value in terms of cost savings and outcomes (ahem).
In this episode of the Modern Outcomes podcast, your host, Matthew Stoltz, discusses modern simulation with Dr. John Schaefer, and the role and importance of pairing the right tools with educational methods.

Why this matters
Dr. Schaefer’s early work in developing programmable airway simulators, fundamentally changed how simulation was accessed and used. The impact of which has been the provision of more access to impactful training at a lower cost, and the birth of modern simulation practices. Dr. Schaefer has extended those values across a state-wide effort in South Carolina, and again regionally across the South East U.S. with fourteen collaborative partners, conducting nearly 20,000 effective simulations per year.
We will explore how commoditization of simulation in terms of access and utility can drastically reduce operational costs. We’ll also discuss the importance of assessment metrics in the debriefing process.
What you will learn
- How to develop a cost-effective program over time
- Where simulation has come from and where it’s going
- Keys to commoditizing sim education
