THE PULSE - A Look Inside the CHSE & CHSOS Item Banks Review
Greetings from the Certification Team!
We’ve been busy over the past few weeks performing a review of every item in both the CHSE and CHSOS item banks. We perform this item bank review every five years to ensure the test questions that can appear on an exam form are relevant to the current knowledge and skills required of healthcare simulation professionals.
THE PULSE - AI Is Awesome, but Proceed With Caution
Recently, I attended the American Society of Association Executives Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, as an ASAE member.
It was my version of IMSH! There, a lot of conversation took place both in sessions and in the hallways about AI tools (such as Chat GPT and Google Bard) and how associations can and should approach the onslaught of new tools.
It got me to thinking, of course, about how SSH members and their institutions might or might not be implementing AI usage. It also got me to thinking about ethical use of such tools.
