NYSIM is a world-renowned simulation facility for healthcare professionals that opened in September 2011. We are honored and excited to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. The successful partnership between CUNY and NYUGSOM is due to the vision and foresight of a number of leaders and collaborators: Dean Robert I. Grossman MD, Dr. Steven Abramson, Dr. Thomas Riles, Dr. Antonio Perez, Dr. Andrew Brotman, Richard Donoghue, Iris Weinshall, Sheila O’Loughlin, Judy Bergtraum, Dr. Julia Wrigley, Dr. Demian Szyld, Dana Sunshine, Dr. Sondra Zabar, and Dr. Grace Ng. We thank Drs. Zabar and Ng for continuing to build the educational programs since the opening. We are grateful for the vision of Dr. Donna Phillips, Assistant Dean of Simulation Education, who is committed to innovation, and elevating simulation education to enhance outcomes in patient care, quality and safety.

From the moment we opened our doors, staff, faculty, directors, and leaders from both CUNY and NYUGSOM have contributed to NYSIM’s ongoing growth and success. Throughout the last decade, the NYSIM team has faced unprecedented challenges with great agility and creativity. When Hurricane Sandy forced displacement, NYSIM moved equipment and ran simulation activities from an offsite facility. Despite the pandemic over the last nearly 20 months, NYSIM rose to the challenges of continuing simulation education. Leaders and staff responded to COVID-19 by piloting and mastering tele-simulations, developing and implementing remote OSCEs and simulations, all the while demonstrating their daily commit-ment to respect, teamwork, and high-quality learning. Thank you to all of our staff over the years for their dedication to excellence, resilience during challenging times, as well as to our partners who have helped us reach this milestone. We look forward to continued innovation and service to CUNY and NYUGSOM in the years to come.
