About AIMS

Advanced Initiatives in Medical Simulation or AIMS is a coalition of individuals and organizations committed to promoting medical simulation as a way to:

• Improve patient safety
• Reduce medical errors
• Ensure provider competency
• Train people to respond to public emergencies and combat situations
• Reduce health care costs

We will achieve these efforts through:

• Engaging, energizing, and further developing the medical simulation community
• Articulating a clear community-wide message on simulation
• Fostering champions for medical simulation
• Creating awareness and educating about simulation
• Securing resources to further medical simulation training, research, and the deployment of simulators and simulation tools of all types
