FROM THE DESK OF THE SSH ACADEMY STAFF LIAISON
|
The Society or Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) Academy is accepting applications starting May 1 for the Class of 2021 Fellows of the SSH Academy. You can nominate yourself to become a Fellow, or you can nominate someone else. Fellows of the SSH Academy (FSSH) are individuals who have demonstrated a combination of substantial contributions to SSH and the healthcare simulation community. Eligibility requirements include having been a member of SSH for at least five (5) years.
It is strongly recommended that anyone who is interested in becoming a Fellow download the self-assessment worksheet prior to submitting an application. This worksheet has been prepared to assist individuals in understanding whether they are likely to meet the rigorous requirements of becoming a Fellow.
When preparing your materials for submission, please keep these key things in mind:
- Your submitted curriculum vitae (CV) should either be simulation specific or should have your simulation specific information highlighted.
- You will be completing an online application form, including descriptive elements where you can describe your sustained contributions to SSH and the healthcare simulation community.
- You must select two references who will be completing an online reference form (link on the page below).
- You should be clear about your sustained contributions in a way that is easy for the reviewers to understand. Successful applicants have been able to clearly demonstrate not only their work, but the impact beyond their local employer.
If accepted, Fellows are expected to submit annual dues, as well as maintain current their SSH membership. Fellows are expected to continue to influence or advance the art, science, and practice of healthcare simulation as part of the SSH Academy.
All information related to applying to become a Fellow is located on this webpage: https://www.ssih.org/Credentialing/SSH-Academy/Nominate
The application period is open through June 19. All application elements, including the references and the $100 application fee must be submitted by this time. Applications will be reviewed by the current Fellows, and notifications will be made by September 1.
For questions, please contact us by emailing aspain@ssih.org. We look forward to seeing your application!

Nursing students want to help fight COVID-19. Give us a pathway to do so.
Press-Telegram
California is facing a health care emergency as we prepare for a surge of patients from the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 cases threaten to overrun our hospitals and our healthcare system. That’s why Governor Gavin Newsom and his administration have scrambled to reopen mothballed hospitals, covert other facilities into makeshift treatment facilities and add to the healthcare workforce.

US high performance computing takes on COVID-19
Forbes
In the battle against the COVID-19 coronavirus, we need all our weapons to defeat this enemy. And high-performance computing may be one of the most valuable weapons. An important part of treating this virus will be understanding it biological interaction and modeling various treatments. This is where the power of HPC to model chemical reactions can help.

Next Generation Harvey realistically simulates nearly any cardiac disease at the touch of a button by varying blood pressure, pulses, heart sounds, murmurs and breath sounds. Harvey is the longest continuous university-based simulation project in medical education, and no other simulator presents cardiac bedside findings at the level of detail and fidelity found in Harvey.

Special report: The simulations driving the world's response to COVID-19
Nature
Neil Ferguson is one of the highest-profile faces in the effort to use mathematical models that predict the spread of the virus and that show how government actions could alter the course of the outbreak. “It’s been an immensely intensive and exhausting few months,” says Ferguson, who kept working throughout his relatively mild symptoms of COVID-19. “I haven’t really had a day off since mid-January.”
