The need for simulation training has grown and with that growth, the need for skilled simulation technologist has increased. Simulation centers often struggle who to hire and what background to look for to fill a position that combines healthcare, audio visual, engineering, and information technology. Many simulation centers require a medical background before they require a background in technology. Simulation Center educators are clinically licensed to teach healthcare, but few have a technology background, so one would ask why simulation centers are requiring a background that any educator in the center could teach a technologist? This presentation focuses on the needs of a center and how to appropriately recruit a technologist that fits those needs.
