Alexander Croft, MD
Vice President of Research/Scholarship Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine
Candidate Statement
My name is Alex Croft, I’m the director of simulation at Washington University in St. Louis. I’m running for the vice president of research and scholarship for the Simulation Academy. I love simulation, research, and building teams that drive innovation and collaboration. At WashU, I direct programs in the School of Medicine, the Department of Emergency Medicine, and the Barnes Jewish Christian Healthcare System. For these efforts, I’ve received multiple grants to build infrastructure and systems that focus on translational simulation-based research.
My goal is to use these skills I’ve gained to build upon the fantastic tradition of collaboration within the Simulation Academy. This year, I’ve had the privilege of working with the current VP of research and scholarship—Stephanie Stapleton—to implement the Just-In-Time funding awards for the Simulation Academy. I see the mission of research/scholarship not only as a way to advance simulation science, but a way to build and foster skills for career long success. Thanks for your consideration, I hope to build with y’all!
