09/09/22 • 26 min
Jarrod Young, MBA, BSE, CHSOS-A is the Simulation Operations Lead at The University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) Center for Healthcare Improvement and Patient Simulation (CHIPS). Mr. Young received his Bachelor’s in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in 2012 and his Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Tennessee at Martin in 2020. He also holds a Graduate Certificate in Healthcare Quality and Safety from UAB, as well as a certification from the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) as a Certified Healthcare Simulation Operations Specialist- Advanced (CHSOS-A).
Since his arrival in 2016, Mr. Young oversees the operations of all healthcare simulation activities within the 45,000 square foot facility at CHIPS. With a strong focus on process management, operational efficiency, and quality improvement methodologies, Mr. Young organizes the day-to-day operations of CHIPS and provides guidance to the Simulation Specialists and Simulation Technologist that make up the operations team. Starting in January 2021, Jarrod served as the Interim Co-Director of CHIPS for eighteen months. During that time, he helps steady the program through an array of major changes, all while leading CHIPS through SSH Accreditation in Teaching and Education.
Prior to his time at CHIPS, Mr. Young served as a Clinical Simulation Specialist at UAB’s Office of Interprofessional Simulation (OIPS). During his time with OIPS, Jarrod was project lead on multiple OIPS strategic priorities, including product design projects with the School of Engineering, and was responsible for training and supervising simulation specialists, simulation technicians, and work study students in OIPS. Before entering the field of healthcare simulation, he worked as a rehabilitation engineer where he specialized in rehabilitation assistive technologies, including ergonomic considerations, product design, and product modifications.
In addition to his responsibilities at CHIPS, Mr. Young volunteers in many different roles and committees within the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH). He is currently a volunteer Accreditation Site Reviewer and voting member of the Accreditation Council. He also serves as the Co-Chair for the Education Workgroup within the Simulation Operations and Technology Section (SOTS). Mr. Young also served as a team member on the development of the CHSOS-A certification and currently serves as a member of the CHSOS Advisory Team. He previously served as a Planning Co-Chair for the SimOps 2021 conference in Tampa, FL and currently serves as a Planning Co-Chair for the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH) 2023 in Orlando, FL.

The Sim Cafe~ Interview with Amy Cowperthwait
Starting many years ago as an ER nurse, Amy Cowperthwait found her educational niche in 2006 as a simulation faculty at the University of Delaware. In 2009 she co-founded Healthcare Theatre with Theatre Faculty at the University of Delaware. The simulated participant program has grown exponentially over the years leading to the development of an approved minor at the University. Her entrepreneurial journey started in 2011 with a tracheostomy simulation gone awry. Through a new partnership with Engineering, the first wearable simulators were developed and patented. Amy’s mission to include Simulated Participants in every possible simulation-based learning experience challenges the outdated precepts of traditional manikin-based learning. The combination of wearable simulators and simulated participants brings simulation to life, adding the vital human element when teaching the essentials of patient-centered compassionate, connected care. After numerous awards and recognition for her work from the simulation community, Amy began balancing her workload at the university with a new title, CEO of Avkin Inc in 2015. Today, she continues to be recognized by her academic colleagues for her contributions to the simulation andragogy while at the same time ensuring Avkin is established as the company that is focused on excellence in simulation education.

The Sim Cafe~ Interview with Matthew Chartnetski
Matthew Charnetski, MSMS, NRP, CHSOS, CHSE is the Director of Simulation-Based Education and Research for Dartmouth Health (DH) in Lebanon, NH. His winding path took him around the world several times between Iowa, Africa, Antarctica, Kazakhstan, Arkansas, New Hampshire and almost every bit in between. Matthew’s simulation career has been largely academic focused primarily in medical education prior to arriving at DH in 2019.
He is a graduate of the Master’s in Medical and Healthcare Simulation Program at Drexel University and is actively pursuing his PhD in Health Professions Education at Maastricht University in Maastricht, Netherlands. Matthew is also adjunct faculty in the Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions Master’s in Health Professions Education Program in the Simulation Operations Track.
Matthew is involved extensively with The Society for Simulation in Healthcare and The International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning. For SSH, Matthew is Chair of the Hospital-Based Simulation Programs Section and a member of the Internal Relations Committee and Chair of the Renewal Technology Subcommittee. He serves as a member of the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Task Force and serves as a Director-At-Large for the SSH Board of Directors where he is board liaison to the Education Committee. Matthew is a member of the Standards Committee for INACSL and serves as the Chair of the Operations Standard Subcommittee. He is currently acting as a co-planning chair for SimGHOSTS planning this falls S3 conference in Singapore.
His recent research interests largely focus on cultural considerations in and around healthcare simulation. His PhD work surrounds the role that culture plays in the adaptation and transfer of simulation curricula in transborder education partnerships. Matthew has contributed book chapters on simulation methodologies, moving simulation centers, and cultural considerations in simulation. His peer-reviewed work has largely been in standards of best practice in simulation, cultural considerations/diversity issues related to simulation, and as a member of the SSH 2023 Distance Simulation Summit.
