IMSH 2024 is going to be AMAZING!

As I come to you, all content reviews are being finalized, the decisions will be emailed soon, and IMSH REGISTRATION should be open very, very soon! SSH received more than 1,100 incredible works of content to be considered for presentation at the meeting. With so much high-quality content to consider along with our impossible desire to always include everything submitted, the review process is exhaustive. However, we simply don’t have space to accept everyone, which makes whittling things down to fit our space one of the most difficult tasks for the IMSH Planning Team. In that light, final decisions are being made so if you submitted to present at IMSH 2024, please keep an eye out for an email next week... and good luck!

Don’t forget the deadline to apply for an IMSH 2024 scholarship or to nominate an individual for an SSH "OF THE YEAR" award is September 14, 2023. And, of course, mark your calendars and start your travel planning now to attend IMSH 2024, January 20-24, in San Diego!

UPCOMING ONLINE COURSES

I also want to draw your attention to several other education and development opportunities.

- The Best Practices Workshop is a partnership program of the Association of SP Educators (ASPE), the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH), and the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL). This program is designed to help healthcare simulation educators improve the quality of their healthcare simulation programs and advance their professional development. Space is available in our September and October cohorts, participates will earn 6.0 IPCE.

- Registration is available for our upcoming Accreditation Courses. Our Core Accreditation cohort will begin October 1, 2023 and our next Teaching Accreditation cohort will begin November 5, 2023. Join one of these online cohorts for help in learning the essential standards required for a successful accreditation application. Course participants will earn 7.0 IPCE while working with our facilitators will help you develop a plan to address your organization’s areas of strengths/weaknesses and help guide your self-study development process.

- CHSE and CHSOS Blueprint Review Course August cohorts have begun but there is still space available in our October cohorts so register today to claim one of these limited spots. These cohorts are led by experienced simulation experts who will help you build your core knowledge of simulation principles and practice. The program will also allow you to earn 7.0 IPCE as well as test your knowledge by including a practice exam ($75 value) with your registration.

That's it for now!
