Accreditation
Prisma Health Simulation Center in the Upstate was one of the first 30 simulation centers in the world to be accredited by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) in 2012 and earned reaccreditation in 2017. This is the highest honor attainable by a center in recognition of its efforts in operations, health care system integration, teaching and assessment standards.
This international accreditation validates the daily efforts of our staff and teaching faculty who utilize the Simulation Center. In doing so, we offer the highest quality of training to our learners so that they can, in turn, provide outstanding care to our patients in the clinical domain.
