Leaders at the University of Kansas Medical Center and The University of Kansas Health System shared a vision to use simulation as a tool to transform healthcare. The tagline, “We are You,” signaled the depth of their shared commitment.

There is incredible synergy in a partnership that crosses traditional organizational structures. All who train here, from physical therapy students to practicing anesthesiologists, must be ready for the unexpected. In those moments, expert teamwork and communication across professions are essential.

By bringing professions together, learners at every level can collaborate, discover and prepare for the realities of patient care, both as individuals and as members of a team.

The Zamierowskis believed better healthcare begins with better learning. Today, that vision lives on as students, clinicians and teams practice together, building safer care for every patient.
