Are You Ready to Publish? The Simulation Technology and Operations Resource Magazine (STORM) may be the right place for you. - Webinar Presented by STORM

Overview:

The Simulation Operations Specialist (SOS) represents the most common position and greatest number of employees among healthcare simulation centers.¹ Moreover, innovations in healthcare simulation often reside with the SOS because creating new methods of simulation technology are inherent in the regular design of simulated healthcare environments².  The SOS may often be the actual inventor.  If not, they actively provide the necessary support to develop, implement, and evaluate new healthcare simulation technologies.  Highlighting exemplar work is an essential part of career development within the field of healthcare simulation operations.  SOS’s should be empowered to pursue publication in various formats that best represent their unique expertise.  This webinar will assist those involved in healthcare simulation operations with an overview of STORM where the primary goal is to publish new technologies and best practice for simulation operations.

Objectives:

• Describe a brief overview of the criteria and types of papers best suited for STORM
• Review the submission guidelines and a demonstration for submitting a paper
• Engage in an open discussion about publication readiness and the submission process

Presenter:

• David Biffar, MS, CHSOS-A
