 FINAL CALL for Healthcare Simulation Week, put yourself on our world map! Oh, my goodness, Healthcare Simulation Week is next week! Set for Sept. 16-20, the 2019 campaign is going to be strong! So many of you have already shown how you’ve prepared to take part in the week dedicated to the healthcare simulation industry, and that’s awesome. But, please also take time to celebrate healthcare simulation professionals, including you! You dedicate your life every single day to helping improve patient care and patient safety, and those efforts should be recognized.
SSH is ready to engage through a list of webinars, presentations, social media posts with the #HcSimWeek19 hashtag, and other activities. (You can see the whole schedule here or at http://tiny.cc/HcSimWeek2019Schedule.)
That said, if you don’t do anything else the whole week, we’d love for you to help show how the healthcare simulation population is growing by taking a minute and putting yourself on our map…literally! I can’t stress enough how important visuals are for relaying information in today’s world and having a WORLD map that shows just how vibrant and engaged our community is goes a long way toward highlighting the fantastic impact we can have as a group. So, visit the page and include your center on the map!
Also, you still have time to submit your video sharing insight on “The Benefit of Healthcare Simulation” and what that means to you, your organization and/or your team. Your video will help raise awareness about the profession, while providing your insights to colleagues and the public about the benefit of healthcare simulation.
In a one-minute, original video, tell or show us:
- The benefit of healthcare simulation
- How you use healthcare simulation every day
- Why and how healthcare simulation enhances the quality of patient care
- What everyday care would look like without healthcare simulation
Videos are due this Thursday, Sept. 12, 2019, 5 p.m. EST. Download the details and get started today!
And again, no matter how you participate this year, one of the most important things you can do is to hashtag everything – and I mean everything – leading up to Sept. 16-20 and during the week itself with #HcSimWeek19.
Photos, videos, comments, tweets, Linkedin and Instagram posts … doesn’t matter. Use that #HcSimWeek19 tag. Help build a great cache of searchable social media content for the media and general public to see.
So, remember, 3 super simple ways to take part:
- Put yourself on the Participation Map.
- Use your social media to promote your center, your work, and you!
- Use the #HcSimWeek19 hashtag
If you have questions about this, or anything else, reach out to me at ckitchen@ssih.org. I’ll be glad to help!
It’s time to rock Healthcare Simulation Week 2019. Let’s do it! ~ Curtis Kitchen

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.

AMA
Creating a more equitable health care system will be a long journey. It’s one the AMA has committed to, most notably by establishing the Center for Health Equity. That journey, in many respects, begins in training tomorrow’s physicians to understand current disparities in care and work toward eradicating inequities. “We must understand how we come to the decisions that we make and how they potentially exacerbate or make better equities that exist,” Dr. Aletha Maybank, M.P.H., the AMA’s new chief health equity officer, said during a recent education session at the AMA.

Simulation training using high fidelity mannequins is one of the up-and-coming tools that can be used across the nursing curriculum to replicate experiences in nursing practice. Nursing faculty members at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College recently involved themselves in an up-close and personal look at that type of training through the leadership of Dr. Debra Weaver and two new high-fidelity mannequins.

Students at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing will participate in a new transgender patient simulation this fall to learn how to better care for transgender patients. The simulation will take place in September and will teach students how care can be different for transgender or nonbinary patients. The teachers, who will be transgender or nonbinary people themselves, will take on the role of the patient and assessed by students.

Dr. Perri Klass writes "I trained to be a doctor in the bad old days — not the worst old days, but the bad old days. Humiliation was part of the deal, sometimes deliberately inflicted by certain grandstanding, sadistic attending physicians, sometimes more casually, because everyone could see that you didn’t know something you should have known. Now we are aware of the consequences of harassment and unconscious bias, and we are trying to give medical students room to learn and grow — but many medical students and residents continue to experience harassment and discrimination and bullying."

Surgical Science
The evolution of simulation-based surgical education is changing the way we prepare resident students for surgery. Traditionally, residents used box trainers to learn basic surgical skills. But universities like Yale have responded to evolving simulation technology by adding virtual reality (VR) simulation training to their surgical curriculum. In the second article of our series showcasing “Best Practices Thought Leaders,” Dr. Hulda Einarsdottir, director of the Yale Surgery Simulation Center, compares VR simulation training benefits to box trainer benefits. She also details six skills that only VR simulation training can teach.

It’s been said that practice makes perfect, especially when you’re dealing with the sick and injured. Now, students at Missouri Southern State University have a place to hone their skills, and no one gets hurt if they make mistakes. “We have a large area of simulation for nursing, respiratory therapy, radiology, but this is specifically towards us,” explained Ted Lee with MSSU Emergency Services.

Machine learning-guided virtual reality simulators can help neurosurgeons develop the skills they need before they step in the operating room, according to a recent study. Research from the Neurosurgical Simulation and Artificial Intelligence Learning Centre at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro) and McGill University shows that machine learning algorithms can accurately assess the capabilities of neurosurgeons during virtual surgery, demonstrating that virtual reality simulators using artificial intelligence can be powerful tools in surgeon training.

Before surgery, surgeons often mentally rehearse what they’re going to do: where they’ll make the initial incision and what comes after that. But what if they could physically simulate the surgery? Augmented reality company Magic Leap has just signed an exclusive deal with Brain Lab, which supplies visualization and training software to surgeons. Through the partnership, Magic Leap will be able to render brain scans into 3D objects, which surgeons can interact with through its signature goggles.
