As I write this, SSH just put the wraps on an incredible SimOps 2026. While every simulation program depends on the simulation operation specialists who create the cases, apply the moulage, run the sessions, and make sure that all needed equipment is functioning in top form, these vital personnel often go unseen.
Greetings everyone! This month, I would like to focus on a new initiative within SSH that represents a massive advance in how we digest and synthesize new discoveries in our field: the International Liaison Council on Simulation (ILCOS).
It’s incredible to think that just weeks ago, our global community came together at IMSH 2026 to learn, collaborate, and push the boundaries of healthcare simulation. The energy was undeniable. The momentum was powerful. And the impact continues to grow.
As we settle into a new calendar year at SSH, I have found myself thinking a lot about momentum. How it builds. How it is sustained. And how it shows up when people are truly aligned around a shared purpose.
The Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) is honored to announce the newest cohort of SSH Fellows, a distinction recognizing individuals who have made significant and sustained contributions to healthcare simulation.
This year’s inductees represent a wide range of expertise and dedication, underscoring the global impact of simulation in healthcare education, research, and practice. The 2026 SSH Fellows are:
As we turn the corner toward the end of the year, it’s clear that our community’s energy and commitment continue to drive the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) forward in remarkable ways.
This month, I’d first like to take a few moments to share some exciting news.
