    BA

    Kaylee Peden, BA, is currently an Educational Development Coordinator for the Winter Institute for Simulation, Education, and Research (WISER). Earning her BA in English Literature and Secondary Education from Seton Hill University, Kaylee works alongside WISER’s marketing team to create engaging social media content to support and spread awareness for the simulation-based solutions WISER offers. Her passion for teaching and education is innate, but her interest in healthcare began in 2018 when she worked as a Patient Care Coordinator for a local hospital system. There, she saw the daily impact quality care had on patients, and she understood the importance of patient safety initiatives. In her current role at WISER, her passion for education is paired with her desire to contribute to the improvement of patient care outcomes. Kaylee is a strong advocate for simulation-based training and education programs, and will apply to become CHSE certified when eligible.  

    The Winter Institute for Simulation, Education, and Research (WISER) is a state-of-the-art simulation training and research facility that serves both the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). In support of their mission to advance healthcare simulation and education, WISER offers a variety of tools and resources geared towards centers looking…
