Simulation-based education is indispensable in preparing healthcare providers for patient care. Simulation centers and programs that serve as a critical platform for promoting patient safety and high-quality training depend on multiple requirements for success: diversified and sustainable financing, technical personnel with a long-term commitment to simulation education, simulation and information technology infrastructure designed to match priority training needs, and resources for curricular development, instruction, faculty development, and research. An additional requirement not widely discussed in the literature is the recruitment and retention of faculty who serve as simulation educators, which is the focus of this report.
