Past Meetings

October 9 & 10, 2009
6th Annual Annual Conference on Simulation Technology in Healthcare Professions Education

For the first time, the annual meeting in simulation technology was brought to an outside venue and expanded into a two-day format. Traditionally, this meeting served the local community of medical educators interested in simulation as a means to train clinicians. This year our expanded format drew international attention.

During the two-day conference, thirteen speakers presented their work on simulation technology in the healthcare profession. Topics included setting performance standards, effective and productive debriefing, the value of multidisciplinary training and in situ simulations, and developing a team-oriented scientific methodology for the study of simulation-based medical education.

Please check our website as soon video podcasts of the proceedings will be available.
