USF Introduces Pioneering Undergraduate Program in Health Care Simulation
The University of South Florida (USF) is launching the world’s first undergraduate concentration in Health Care Simulation Operations, aiming to address the growing demand for professionals skilled in simulation-based medical training. This innovative program, starting in Fall 2025, is designed to enhance patient safety and care quality through advanced simulation technologies.
Offered through the USF College of Public Health, in collaboration with the USF Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation (CAMLS), this concentration is part of the Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences program. It provides students with a specialized pathway into the rapidly growing field of health care simulation.
The health care simulation field is experiencing rapid growth, with the global market projected to reach $17.4 billion by 2030. USF’s program aims to meet this demand by preparing graduates for roles in hospitals, academic institutions, clinical simulation centers, federal agencies, military installations, and private industry.
