Healthcare Simulation Program Receives National Approval

Galen College has received the Healthcare Simulation Standards Endorsement from the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL). This national recognition is awarded to institutions demonstrating quality in simulation-based education.

“This endorsement recognizes our commitment to excellence in simulation-based learning experiences across the college,” said Dr. Janeen Berndt, Senior Director of Curriculum and Instruction. 

Simulation plays a critical role in training future nurses, helping them develop confidence, clinical judgment, and communication skills in realistic environments. Galen’s labs feature high-fidelity mannequins and virtual reality to mirror modern healthcare complexity and prepare students to deliver safe, compassionate care.

The INACSL endorsement highlights Galen’s work in areas such as Prebriefing, Facilitation, Professional Integrity, and Debriefing, reflecting its commitment to preparing practice-ready nurses.
