Simulation Summit- Pre Conference Information
The Simulation Summit will be a 4-hour pre-conference on May 14 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
The purpose is to bring together those interested and invested in healthcare simulation activities to discuss challenges, share experiences and resources, coordinate resources, brainstorm solutions, and report recommendations. The Simulation Summit will be coordinated similarly to a World Café with identified challenges and opportunities to come together to create deliverables and recommendations for the next steps to support the larger simulation community.
Following the Simulation Summit, there will be a Social Networking Reception with food, beverages, and other activities from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. People who registered for either the Simulation Summit or the Midwest Interprofessional Conference are invited to attend the Social Networking Reception.
Attendees are from academic and hospital-based programs who work with all health professional disciplines:
- Simulationists
- Simulation Specialists
- Faculty
- Simulation Operations Specialists
- Human Simulation Specialists
- Educators
The Simulation Summit is being coordinated by a regional group of local simulationists.
The cost is $50 per person. QUESTIONS: Email i-sail@stkate.edu with questions.
Access to the Social Networking Reception is included in the Midwest Interprofessional Conference & the Simulation Summit Registrations.
