Biography

Dr. Muret-Wagstaff's work concentrates on the development of learning and performance systems at the individual, team, and organizational levels to promote quality of care and patient safety. She directs the Co-management of Operating Room Emergencies (CORE) Simulation Program for teams of surgeons, anesthesiologists, and nurses at Emory; serves as director of the High Fidelity Simulation Program for the Carlos and Davis Center for Surgical Anatomy and Technique (CSAT); and chairs the Simulation Teaching and Research Initiative of Atlanta. In addition to her Emory appointments, Dr. Muret-Wagstaff is faculty director of the CMS Learning Systems Fellowship Program in large-scale, multi-site quality improvement designs for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. At the national level, Dr. Muret-Wagstaff is associate editor of Simulation in Healthcare and serves on scientific review panels for several organizations. In former positions, Dr. Muret-Wagstaff founded international fellowship programs for the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, co-led two physician training programs that received the Academic Pediatric Association's top education program award, led the design of the simulation-based Harvard Assessment of Anesthesia Resident Performance instrument, created the faculty development program in education for Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital, and spearheaded design and implementation of an institutional infrastructure that enabled interdisciplinary collaboration for quality among more than 400 operating room faculty and staff.
