Get Involved as an SSH Accreditation Program Reviewer 

Being an SSH Accreditation Program Reviewer is one of the most impactful ways to serve the SSH organization. Being a Reviewer allows you to see and learn from Simulation Programs around the world and network with peers in Healthcare Simulation.  

 

Roles and Responsibilities of Accreditation Reviewers 

  • This unique opportunity does require a commitment of time from those who choose to become involved. At minimum, an Accreditation Review requires three Reviewer Team meetings, time for personal review of all submitted documentation, and travel and attendance in the actual onsite review.
