Event Description:
Guest Speaker 

Harry Robinson
VA's SimLEARN National Program Manger


The Topic will be about the VA’s SimLEARN National Simulation Center,
 located in Medical City on the campus of the Orlando VA Medical Center.  
Mr. Robinson will give an overview of the facility and talk about the clinical
simulations activities that will train VA employees across the country. 

 
The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Simulation Learning Education and Research Network (SimLEARN) uses simulation-based clinical training for health care providers and clinicians to increase and sustain workforce skill and improve Veteran patient outcomes.  As the hub for the VHA National Simulation Network, the SimLEARN National Simulation Center uses innovative and immersive training technologies in a safe learning environment to enhance diagnostic, procedural, and team communication skills to support quality care and the best possible quality of care.
 
            A Veteran of the U.S. Navy, Mr. Robinson completed his active duty as the Commanding Officer of the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division leading over 1,100 personnel accomplishing full life-cycle acquisition of training solutions for the Navy.  As a Naval Flight Officer, he primarily flew the E-2C Hawkeye and commanded both an operational squadron and type wing.  His combat experience includes strike, close air support, and air superiority missions over Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Former Republic of Yugoslavia.
 
            The Philadelphia native retired at the rank of captain after 28 years of military service.  Subsequently he was a Senior Associate with Booz Allen Hamilton, where he served as the Advanced Analytics Modeling and Simulation lead supporting Team Orlando, a collaborative alliance of governmental and non-profit agencies, including the Department of Defense and VA, working to leverage simulation technology to improve employee performance. His focus was on providing live, virtual and constructive simulation to support training solutions to improve human performance and accomplish individual and team training requirements.
 
            Harry earned his commission through the Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps upon graduation from Pennsylvania State University in 1982 with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. He then earned a Master's of Science in Aviation Systems from the University of Tennessee and completed the Naval War College Command and Staff Course. He completed his PhD in Modeling and Simulation from Old Dominion University and a Medical Modeling and Simulation Certificate Program at the Naval Postgraduate School MOVES Institute.
