Andrew Gross, B.A., holds an undergraduate degree from West Virginia University. He currently serves as the Medical Simulation Manager for the Clinical Simulation Center at the Sheila and Eric Samson Pavilion Health Education Campus. Drew, as he prefers to be called, serves as the primary resource for the center's simulation technology. Drew has worked in the simulation field since 2004 and has worked for Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine since 2006. He is responsible for maintaining the High Fidelity Manikins, Surgical Simulators, and the CAE LearningSpace audiovisual recording system. His extensive experience assists clients with designing just about any simulation possible. Drew's simulation experience with several Critical Care Airlift Medical Teams combines his love of simulation with his enthusiasm for aviation.
In his spare time, Drew is an avid film buff who runs a movie group in the Cleveland area. He also enjoys music, travel, and Cleveland sports. Drew volunteers every month at a Food Pantry in Mayfield Heights and he volunteers annually at the Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF). His favorite quote is "Imagination is everything...It is the preview of life's coming attractions" by Albert Einstein
