Using the Center for Medical Simulation's recent work with the University of Maine System as a case study, Mary and Penni discuss how endorsement becomes less about recognition and more about creating a disciplined process for reflection, alignment, and improvement. For nursing leaders focused on competency-based education and workforce readiness, the conversation offers a practical perspective on building simulation programs that scale while maintaining quality. Topics include continuous improvement, faculty development, stronger partnerships with clinical organizations, and moving simulation from isolated events into an intentional curriculum that better prepares learners for practice.
