He earned BSN (1997), MSN (anesthesia, 2000) and PhD (2018) degrees from the University of Pittsburgh. His PhD focused on Healthcare Simulation processes and translational science. He also earned an independently designed concentration BA (biological sciences and fine arts) from the University of Michigan. Dr. Goode serves on the Winter Institute for Simulation Education and Research (WISER) Research and Scholarship Committee and has served on the American Association for the History of Nursing Board of Directors from 2021 to 2023.

Dr. Goode has honors and awards, including the Sigma Theta Tau Eta Chapter Leadership in Nursing Award (2009) and the Pennsylvania Association of Nurse Anesthetists Didactic Instructor of the Year (2006) and Clinician of the year (2004).

Dr. Goode has been involved in the healthcare simulation field since 2000 and in clinical and laboratory research since 1979. His current primary areas of research interest in simulation include the use of Hierarchical Task Analysis in healthcare simulation educational methodology, the quantitative and qualitative measurement of translation from the simulation setting to clinical practice and its impacts on patient safety. His clinical research is focused on applications of High Frequency Jet Ventilation.
