Every year, organizations come to IMSH and SimOps to showcase their products in front of thousands of simulation professionals and form meaningful relationships. Many are incredibly successful at both. Other, though, leave with a list of badge scans that never convert to anything.

There is a meaningful difference between studying for a certification exam alone and studying within a structured group of peers working toward the same goal at the same time. The difference is not just accountability — though that matters. It is the actual quality of the learning.

Greetings!
I hope that you are all enjoying the last weeks of the summer. In the rural Pennsylvania community where I grew up, August was traditionally associated with the beginnings of harvest time.
So, it seems a fitting month to focus on how simulation can be used to address issues in rural healthcare.
