Workshop 3 - WORKSHOP FULL
Demonstration of simulation-based training and assessment in action
University of Miami Gordon Center Faculty
Venue: University of Miami Gordon Center for Research in Medical Education
Cost: $125
The Gordon Center is a designated Center of Excellence of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. It was established 40 years ago for the application of advanced technology to multiprofessional healthcare education.
