TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (January 11, 2016) – The Society for Simulation in Healthcare has conferred accreditation through 2020 for the Tallahassee Community College Simulation Center at the Ghazvini Center for Healthcare Education.

The SSH Board of Review accredited the TCC Center in the area of teaching and education after reviewing the program. Board members visited the Ghazvini Center on October 8, 2015, to tour the facilities, but full accreditation was not awarded until December.

Huge accomplishment for TCC

“To be the second community college in the nation and the second accredited simulation center in the state of Florida is a huge accomplishment,” said Alice Nied, dean of healthcare professions and Ghazvini Center executive director. “We are so proud of program director Carla Dormeus and the rest of the staff.”

TCC’s program will be recognized Wednesday, January 19, at the SSH’s Accreditation and Certification Reception in San Diego.
