Simulation-Based Learning at UW–Madison
What is the University of Wisconsin–Madison SimLab?
We offer novices, pre-professionals, and working professionals the opportunity to rehearse challenging, high-stakes conversations in a supportive, no-harm environment. Our simulations allow for tailored guidance and feedback, and show positive impact on professional practice.
Enhancing Professional Competency through Rehearsal
Our Mission
The UW SimLab’s mission is to provide practitioners with realistic, structured, evaluative simulation experiences that mirror consequential real-world situations, so that they develop or demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to navigate these situations effectively.
Why partner with the SimLab?
If practitioners are provided with realistic, structured simulation experiences that mirror consequential real-world situations, then they will develop and demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to navigate these scenarios effectively. We have three decades of experience designing, delivering, and evaluating simulation training systems.
How does the SimLab Work?
In partnership with subject-matter experts and supported by AI techniques, the team develops and delivers simulations through a rigorous process.
