Health Care Sciences Faculty Receives Simulation Award

Melissa Morris, MSN, RN, CPN, CHSE, the director of simulation and interactive technology with the Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences, recently received the Award for Research in the Field of Virtual Reality Simulation.

The honor was presented to Morris at the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare 2023 in Orlando on January 21-25.
