Jared Kutzin

Jared Kutzin serves as an Adjunct Associate Professor at the MGH Institute of Health Professions and holds a dual appointment as Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine and Medical Education at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where he concurrently serves as Senior Director of the Simulation, Teaching and Research Center at The Mount Sinai Hospital.

His educational foundation includes:

• Doctor of Philosophy, Nursing (candidate), Texas Woman’s University
• MS in Medical Education Leadership, University of New England - College of Medicine
• DNP in Public Health Nurse Leadership, UMASS Amherst
• MPH in Health Policy and Management, Boston University
• BS in Nursing, Columbia University
• BS in Community Health Education, Hofstra University

Dr. Kutzin's research centers on leveraging simulation-based education and educational technologies to drive behavior change that enhances healthcare quality and safety. His specialized focus spans emergency medicine, nursing practice, pre-hospital systems, and disaster response protocols. Current investigations examine virtual reality educational environments and the critical relationship between built clinical environments and clinician performance. His methodological approach integrates human factors engineering with educational theory to optimize simulation design and implementation.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals a dominant trajectory toward technology-enhanced simulation methodologies, particularly virtual reality and telemedicine applications, with increasing emphasis on global health contexts and economic evaluations of simulation programs. The work consistently bridges clinical practice with educational innovation across emergency medicine, nursing, and prehospital care domains.

His distinguished recognition includes:

• Society for Simulation in Healthcare Educator of the Year (2022)
• MedEdPORTAL Associate Editor of the Year (2020)
• Fellow of the Institute for Medical Education Mount Sinai Health System (2020)
• Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine (2018)
• Inaugural Fellow of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare Academy (2017)
• Long Island Business News 40 under 40 (2015)

As an educator and leader, Dr. Kutzin has developed and implemented simulation curricula across multiple clinical settings, significantly impacting staff competency development and patient safety initiatives. His grant-funded work focuses on simulation technology integration and healthcare systems improvement, though specific funding sources aren't detailed in available materials. His leadership extends to the REBEL Lab and Center of Excellence in Healthcare Simulation Research, where he drives innovation in simulation operations, educator development, and cross-disciplinary collaboration to transform clinical education and practice.
