Greetings from the Education Department, where 2023 is in full swing!

It’s hard to believe that another IMSH is in the books!

The incredible event turned out to be a record-breaking year. With over 4200 attendees and exhibitors, we had an amazing group of healthcare simulationists gathering in Orlando!  The excitement this year was unparalleled and amazing to have a chance to meet in person once again. From dinner and dancing at the President’s Diamond Ball, the largest Exhibit Hall in IMSH history and the impressive selection of educational content, this is an IMSH like none other!

You know better than most just how important a personal recommendation is in healthcare.

It especially holds true when it comes to choosing professional development activities - which events to attend, which credentials to obtain, and which standards to uphold, etc. You all listen to each other. You know that. We know that.

Hello, and a happy 2023 to you!

It’s hard to believe there are only 34 days left in 2023, which means we’re less than TWO months away from seeing you all at IMSH 2024!

In six short weeks, we will gather in San Diego for IMSH 2024!

Happy New Year to you all!

In the middle of our normal, extreme hustle ahead of IMSH 2024 in San Diego, I wanted to pause and wish everyone in the healthcare simulation community the best as we forge straight into a new year.

*pause* *breathe in, breathe out*

Okay, back to the exciting events at hand, beginning, of course, with IMSH 2024!

We knew the 24th International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare here in San Diego, was going to be a record-setter - and it was with nearly 4,300 attendees! 

But, friends, let me tell you, we didn’t know another record would be provided by Mother Nature.

Wow! It’s hard to believe it’s already been a few weeks since many of us were on site together in San Diego for the record-setting IMSH 2024.

It’s no secret that people join associations for networking. 

True, education and access to resources also are key contributors. But, connecting with professional peers, joining niche solution groups, and learning from trusted individuals who express similar mission and purpose goals will always be near the top of any “reason for membership” list.
