9th Annual International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare

The 9th International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare provides an exciting
and unique experience for a diverse population of stakeholders who share a
common mission to promote excellence in patient safety and care through
innovation and collaboration. These include: physicians, nurses, prehospital
providers, educators, engineers, technology specialists, administrators, center
operators, other clinical providers and non-healthcare simulation enthusiasts.
The program addresses the spectrum of introductory to advanced topics through
a variety of engaging sessions that include keynote and large group
presentations, interactive workshops, expert panel and roundtable discussions,
affinity group meetings and research abstract presentations. Interdisciplinary
themes covering broad areas of research, education, team training and
assessment are embedded throughout the conference. All simulation methods
will be represented including mannequin and computer-based simulators, virtual
reality systems, standardized patients and task trainers.
