10th Annual International Meeting On Simulation In Healthcare

The SSH will lead in facilitating excellence in (multi-specialty) health care education, practice, and research through simulation modalities. The Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) was established in January 2004 to represent the rapidly growing group of educators and researchers who utilize a variety of simulation techniques for education, testing, and research in health care. The membership, now over 2,000, is united by its desire to improve performance and reduce errors in patient care using all types of simulation including task trainers, human patient simulators, virtual reality, and standardized patients.We are a broad-based, multi-disciplinary, multi-specialty, international society with ties to all medical specialties, nursing, allied health paramedical personnel, and industry. A major venue for advancing simulation in medicine is the annual International Meeting for Simulation in Healthcare (formerly IMMS) that has been held successfully since 1995. SSH, beginning in 2006, has wholly sponsored this meeting. SSH welcomes ties with other organizations interested in patient simulation. Recognizing that simulation represents a paradigm shift in health care education, SSH promotes improvements in simulation technology, educational methods, practitioner assessment, and patient safety that promote better patient care and can improve patient outcome. The 10th International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare is an exciting and unique experience for a diverse population of stakeholders. Whether you are a physician, nurse, educator, pre-hospital professional, technology specialists, or involved in simulation center operations, you will find this conference inspiring. All attendees share a common mission to promote excellence in patient safety and care through innovation and collaboration.
