🎉 Scavenger Hunt Showdown! 🏁
Our amazing Sim Center team took the challenge and tested out the brand-new Simulation Orientation Scavenger Hunt—and let’s just say, the competitive spirit was alive and well! 😄💪

Laughter, teamwork, and a whole lot of learning!

This activity is designed to help new simulation participants explore the Maverick Family Nursing Simulation Center, get hands-on with essential equipment, and meet the incredible staff who make it all happen.

💬 Who do you think won the scavenger hunt?

🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Megan Dohm on her promotion to Associate Professor! 🎉

Dr. Dohm has been a driving force in advancing simulation-based education at the Maverick Family Nursing Simulation Center. Her leadership was instrumental in achieving accreditation and fully integrating simulation into the undergraduate nursing curriculum.

Beyond nursing, Dr. Dohm has championed interdisciplinary collaboration—inviting allied health departments to explore simulation as a transformative methodology in pre-professional education.

Her dedication to innovation, equity, and excellence continues to shape the future of healthcare education. We’re proud to celebrate this well-deserved milestone!

Our Academic Director took the stage at INACSL 2025 earlier this month!

Presenting alongside esteemed colleagues Janine Hinton (University of Arizona) and Beth Rogers (Texas Christian University), Megan Dohm conducted a workshop, "Fairness in Focus: Implementing Equitable and Just Assessments in Simulation Education."

This powerful session underscored the importance of equity and justice in simulation-based learning, an essential step toward inclusive and effective education.

Also pictured is Kat Kries, creator of the Modified Medication Administration Safety Assessment Tool (MASAT), used in the session.
