Penn State York and WellSpan have teamed up to offer a unique program, a master of education in teaching and curriculum with a specialization in medical simulations. The new program will help better prepare medical, nursing, and allied health professionals to direct medical simulation centers. WellSpan health is an integrated health system serving south central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. The new program begins in spring 2012.
"We have not seen a program like this anywhere else," said Dennis Baughman, coordinator of the master of education in teaching and curriculum at Penn State York. "We are excited to be able to offer this multidisciplinary program."
The growth of the University Park Regional Campus of Penn State College of Medicine is continuing to gain momentum. The regional campus, which was established in collaboration with Mount Nittany Medical Center, is training the next generation of physicians and health professionals in State College and surrounding communities. In concert with the establishment of four Penn State Hershey Medical Group outpatient sites in State College, the University Park Regional Campus addresses the area's need for physicians while focusing on primary care and rural medicine.
