Inspire: Why What We Do Matters
Speaker: John Schaefer, III, MD, Director, Healthcare Simulation of South Carolina, 
Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC

Reconnect with the reason why we do what we do in healthcare simulation.  Learn the real-life story of Lewis Blackman, a 15-year-old South Carolina boy, who died as the result of a tragic medical error.  His untimely death set the stage for South Carolina to enact legislation leading to the development and growth of the state’s healthcare simulation movement.  Dr. Schaefer, Endowed Chair and Director of Healthcare Simulation South Carolina, will share this compelling story, and offer inspiration for our work in making healthcare safer for patients. Read bio.
