Summary There has been a substantial increase in the use of modeling and simulation in medical training among healthcare providers. However, as noted by the US Army and International Surgeon Generals at the 2009 Advanced Technology Applications for Combat Casualty Care, there lacks an organized program that verifies, validates, and accredits models and simulations used in medicine and health care. Additionally, there lacks a program to conduct the research required to build a cadre of well-informed medical M & S subject matter experts to serve as simulation center instructors and simulation center managers. In conjunction with the Uniformed Services University (USU) we propose to create a certificate program in medical modeling and simulation to fill in this gap.
