SSH Director of Accreditation Kristyn Gadlage expressed her enthusiasm about the announcement, stating, “We commend each of these outstanding programs for their dedication to improving healthcare simulation and for achieving SSH Accreditation. Their efforts ensure the delivery of exceptional education, training, and research that ultimately contribute to better patient outcomes.”
SSH Accreditation is the industry’s gold standard for more than 295+ simulation programs worldwide, reflecting a program’s commitment to delivering high-quality education, research, and training. Accreditation is awarded following a thorough review process, including evaluation of program governance, facilities, technology, and outcomes, as well as alignment with SSH’s internationally recognized standards.
Programs that pursue SSH Accreditation gain access to a network of simulation leaders, opportunities for professional development, and the recognition that comes with meeting the highest standards of excellence in the field. The accreditation process also provides valuable feedback to help programs continuously improve and evolve.
