Faculty Spotlight: Ron Enos

Faculty Spotlight, Nursing Staff Ron Enos, Simulation Lab Coordinator

It’s Friday, so how about we feature a fantastic faculty member? Meet Ron Enos, Simulation Lab Coordinator!

Ron has been at UACCM since October 2018. In case you haven’t had to opportunity to visit UACCM’s nursing facilities, the simulation lab, or sim lab, is a realistic simulation of a healthcare facility, complete with programmable mannikins and a medication dispensing machine.

Ron thinks students should choose UACCM because each student is important here. His favorite part of his job is recreating an immersive healthcare setting and seeing confidence and growth of nursing students because of it.

When not at UACCM, Ron enjoys running, guitar, and painting. He had this advice for UACCM students: “It's not how smart you are but the time you put into study that delivers the grade.”
