Bio

David Rodgers is the director of the Interprofessional Simulation Center on the Regional Academic Health Center campus of Indiana University, Bloomington. He is also an assistant professor of clinical medicine in the IU School of Medicine. Dr. Rodgers earned his doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction and a Master of Arts in Communication Studies from Marshall University. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Journalism from West Virginia University. Clinically, he is a national registered paramedic (NRP) with over 35 years’ experience including time as a flight paramedic, EMS supervisor, and manager of a hospital-based critical care transport service.

Dr. Rodgers’ EMS activity continues in his role as Faculty Advisor for the Indiana University student-run Intra Collegiate EMS (IC-EMS) program (https://icems.sitehost.iu.edu/)

With over 25 years in simulation-based education, Dr. Rodgers has a wide range of experience in simulation center operations and simulation educational program development. He was the founding director of a large teaching-hospital simulation center, helped expand the capabilities of an established pediatric simulation program, and managed a large, high activity simulation program supporting an academic medical center, a medical school, and a nursing school. He also operates his own simulation education consulting company. In his role as a consultant, Dr. Rodgers works with medical schools, nursing schools, hospitals, EMS agencies, and the simulation industry on a variety of projects in addition to teaching specialty programs.  

He was elected as Fellow of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (FSSH) as part of the SSH Academy class of 2024.

Dr. Rodgers has been active as a volunteer with the American Heart Association (AHA) having served as chairperson of the national Emergency Cardiovascular Care Education Subcommittee and as a member of the Program Administration Subcommittee (PROAD). He has been active with AHA international activities, serving as a member of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), conducting instructor courses in Japan, Germany, and Ireland, and was an AHA representative to the Emergency Cardiovascular Care Consensus 2005 and 2010 conferences. In recognition for his contributions to Emergency Cardiovascular Care, Dr. Rodgers was appointed a Fellow of the American Heart Association (FAHA).

He is also an American College of Surgeons Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) Educator.

Active as a speaker, Dr. Rodgers has conducted over 100 presentations and workshops including several at  international conferences such as the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare, International Pediatric Simulation Symposium and Workshops, and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Update.

He is active as a researcher and writer, serves as a reviewer for several journals and has published over 35 peer-reviewed manuscripts and abstracts as well as four book chapters. He is currently on the editorial board for Simulation in Healthcare, the leading simulation-based healthcare journal, and is an associate editor for Simulation and Gaming, the oldest simulation-based education journal.
