The SSH Membership Department has recently revamped its publications, both the pieces sent to the new members each month and the membership brochure. We have also added a member benefits rack card and a rack card listing all of the affinity groups, special interest groups and sections. These two rack cards, along with the membership brochure, will be used when SSH exhibits at various conferences. 
The new members will be getting the new window cling that says “Ask me about healthcare simulation”. It can be used on office windows, automobile windows and even motorcycle windshields! SSH Internal Relations Committee member John Dean of New Zealand sent me a picture of how he is using his new window cling. I will be asking the new members to send me their pictures as well. For you current members who want a window cling, we will have them available at IMSH in San Diego this coming January. ~ Kathryn Elliott Pullins
The SSH Accreditation Council has some exciting news to share and it’s only a click away! The newly launched Accreditation News page is your go-to source for the latest information on initiatives being pursued by the SSH Accreditation Council. Through this new online resource, readers will also be able to learn about opportunities to serve as an SSH Accreditation Program Reviewer and when training sessions will be available for both new and experienced Program Reviewers. Learn more about the people who currently serve in the role through our Reviewer of the Quarter article and you just might find that our reviewers are healthcare simulation professionals a lot like you! Additionally, see what Accredited Programs have to say about the value of earning SSH Accreditation in our Program of the Quarter article. And of course, you’ll find links to the SSH Accreditation Standards. We hope you enjoy Accreditation News!

SSH will be again be offering several scholarship opportunities for IMSH attendees in 2020 including The Beverlee Anderson Education Scholarship and the Bob Waters Memorial Scholarship. The Beverlee Anderson Scholarship is a need based scholarship for healthcare simulationists who may not be able to attend IMSH otherwise. The Bob Waters Scholarship will be awarded to a student, resident or fellow who is involved with simulation.
We are pleased to announce that again this year, The Pocket Nurse® and Dynarex® Education Scholarship Fund (PNDESF) will be offering four scholarships. This is their second year offering scholarships that include an SSH membership, a preconference course and a full IMSH registration package. This scholarship provides support to any Simulation Lab individual who currently is employed by an educational institution. This Scholarship is to support an individual to attend the annual International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH). This need-based scholarship was created for healthcare simulation professionals who would otherwise be unable to attend IMSH.
The applications for these scholarships is now open through September 19. You can apply for any of these scholarships here.
Please contact SSH Membership Coordinator, Ashley Grossman with any questions related to related to IMSH 2020 Scholarships at agrossman@ssih.org.

A student has used 3D printing technology to create a model of a kidney that could be used to help train cancer surgeons. The model created by Glasgow School of Art (GSA) student Lisa Ferrie could help surgeons hone their skills in performing a robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy – a procedure that removes part of the kidney affected by a tumor.

Scientists at Johns Hopkins have successfully created personalized digital replicas of the upper chambers of the heart and used them to guide the precise treatment of patients suffering from persistent irregular heartbeats. These simulations accurately identified where clinicians need to destroy tissue to restore the heart's normal rhythm. The proof-of-concept study, published today in Nature Biomedical Engineering, is a promising step toward simulation-driven treatments and sets the stage for the team's FDA-approved clinical trial slated to begin this fall.

Aspirus Riverview Hospital and Mid-State Technical College in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, have partnered to offer medical students an innovative way to learn hands-on skills. The institutions have transformed the former Family Birthplace at Aspirus Riverview into the Mid-State Health Care Simulation Center. Nine lifelike manikins will allow students from all of Mid-State's campuses to learn how to handle clinical scenarios, such as stroke, sepsis infection, bleeding, shock and labor and delivery.

The Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute (MGMCRI) will develop and implement a faculty development program on simulation-based healthcare education. An Memorandum of understanding in this regard was signed between Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth (SBV), which administers the college, and the Pediatric Simulation and Research Society (PediSTARS) based in Bengaluru, India, a press note said. S.C. Parija, Vice-Chancellor of SBV, said simulation in healthcare is now the method of choice to train healthcare trainees in the technical and non-technical skills to manage critically ill patients while working in healthcare teams.

In late August 2011, a magnitude 5.8 earthquake - the strongest east of the Mississippi since 1944 - shook Washington, D.C., with such force that it cracked the Washington Monument and damaged the National Cathedral. On the sixth floor of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Children's National in Washington, D.C., staff felt the hospital swaying from side to side.

Working together to deliver seamless patient care is critical to improving the patient journey and reducing harm. As healthcare becomes more specialized, a patient will likely experience an increase in handoffs between clinicians and departments. SimMan® patient simulators support team training, facilitating effective communication during these transitions to identify and rectify risks along the way.

The Lane Report
To meet the rapidly increasing healthcare needs in Fayette and surrounding counties, the Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) Leestown Campus leaders in Lexington, Kentucky, had to dream big, expand partnerships and find funding. Through a $3,040,000 Work Ready Skills Initiative (WRSI) grant from the Education and Workforce Development Cabinet (EWDC) and funds from community partners, that dream is now a reality. BCTC Leestown Campus is putting the finishing touches on the newly renovated 37,000-square-foot nursing and allied health building just in time for a new semester.

“Sim Baby,” “Sim Junior” and “Nursing Anne” – the newest patient simulators in The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) College of Nursing and Health Professions' Clinical Simulation Center – can expect a diagnosis after the fall 2019 semester begins at USM. Sim Baby allows students to study conditions in infants, with features that include pupils of the eye that react to light, and lips that turn blue in response to decreased levels of oxygen; Sim Junior a pediatric patient simulator and Nursing Anne, an adult female simulator, allow for students to insert intravenous tubes and feeding tubes, change wound dressings, put in catheters, among other features.
