title = "Expanding simulation-based education through institution-wide initiatives: A blueprint for success",
abstract = "Background The Consortium of American College of Surgeons Accredited Education Institutes (ACS-AEIs) was created to promote patient safety through the use of simulation, develop innovative education and training, advance technologies, identify best practices, and encourage research and collaboration. Methods During the seventh annual meeting of the consortium, leaders from across the consortium who have developed institution-wide simulation centers were invited to participate in a panel to discuss their experiences and the lessons learned. Conclusion These discussions resulted in definition of 5 key areas that need to be addressed effectively to support efforts of the ACS-AEIs.",

note = "Funding Information: Funding for simulation centers may include support from the hospital, university, individual departments, revenue-generating courses, research, philanthropy, and industry. Institutions aiming to develop simulation programs that include multiple specialties and groups of learners must proactively develop long-range funding models, including fee-for-service activities, along with support from departments or institutions. Both sources of support are often used. 12,13 However, insufficient internal allocations can present major challenges. Additionally, departments or groups that utilize the simulation space most frequently (and thus contribute more funds) are often perceived as owners of the space, thwarting efforts to position ACS-AEIs as hospital- or university-wide assets.
