At the Gordon Center, we are proud to advance the transformative power of simulation to unite healthcare teams, across disciplines, across borders, and across the spectrum of crisis and care.

From our home in Miami, our team collaborates with healthcare providers, educators, and first responders across Florida, the U.S., and around the world. Whether supporting a hospital team in the first minutes of a medical emergency, training paramedics to use point-of-care ultrasound in the field, or partnering with faculty in India, Mexico, Japan, and Spain to embed simulation into health professions curricula - our mission remains constant: to prepare teams with the tools, skills, and confidence they need, when and where it matters most.

This global commitment is reflected in our work:

• In Japan, where we partnered with the ACLS Japan Association to introduce Advanced Stroke Life Support® Blended Learning instructor training.


• Onboard the USNS Comfort, where we contributed to emergency preparedness efforts during a humanitarian mission in Grenada.


• In Mexico City, where we launched Harvey® Premier at the Laerdal SUN conference and joined leaders shaping simulation across Latin America.


• At SESAM in Spain, where we exchanged best practices with our international colleagues to elevate the quality of simulation education.


• Across Florida, where we continue to support first responders, trauma, and pediatric care teams, and conduct large-scale disaster and active shooter simulations.

Simulation is more than a teaching modality, it is a global language of safety, readiness, and collaboration. We are honored to work alongside educators, clinicians, innovators, and partners who bring this language to life every day.

Together, we are United through Simulation.
