EAGLES Center
Engaging Active Group Learning Environments in Simulation
Simulation-Based Experiences For Auburn Nursing Students
The mission of AUCON to advance health, wellness, and healthcare for all through excellence in practice, teaching, research, and outreach is supported by the EAGLES Center, which is an internal component of AUCON's educational activities. The EAGLES Center uses innovative technologies and dynamic simulation-based experiences to develop and enhance clinical skills and judgement in its graduates who, in turn, provide safe nursing care to citizens of Alabama and beyond.
Auburn University College of Nursing offers two professional development opportunities designed to strengthen expertise in healthcare simulation education.
Simulation modules provide eight self-paced, online learning experiences that introduce the foundational concepts of simulation-based teaching—ideal for busy nurse educators in academic or clinical settings.
Building on these fundamentals, the Post-Master’s Healthcare Simulation Graduate Certificate is a three-semester program that prepares graduates to lead simulation programs, apply best practice standards, and integrate evidence-based strategies into curriculum and instruction.
Professional Development
Meet The Team
The core program staff for the EAGLES Center includes the Director of Clinical Simulation and Skills, four dedicated lab faculty, four Nursing Lab Staff, one Simulation Operations Specialist, and an Administrative Assistant.
Additional faculty, clinical associates, and graduate teaching assistants are scheduled as needed to support simulation and skills lab implementation. All individuals working in the labs receive orientation and training in simulation pedagogy and best practices.
