Celebrating the Past: Lessons from the first 1500 years of simulation in healthcare
Professor Harry Owen is an academic anesthesiologist at Flinders University in Adelaide, South Australia with around 100 peer reviewed research publications. For several years Harry's research focus has been the history of simulation and some of this work has been published in clinical, education and simulation journals and presented at national and international meetings and Harry is writing a comprehensive history of simulation to be published in 2015.
Simulation was widely used in health professional education for more than 250 years and in the 18th and 19th centuries there were national simulation courses, mobile simulation units, simulators for general skills training and task trainers, lung and heart sound simulators, high-fidelity simulators and pocket simulator, simulators that could bleed, and a global industry for making, maintaining, updating and repairing simulators. In the first half of the 19th century a change in the way students in Europe were taught using simulation resulted in thousands of deaths.
Developments early in the 20th century included surgical team-based scenarios, simulators for practicing resuscitation and objective structured assessment of team-based care in trauma management. The second half of the 20th century was notable only for the decline in simulation in healthcare.

Lou Oberndorf Lecture on Innovation in Healthcare Simulation
Marco Tempest
Marco Tempest is a cyber illusionist, combining magic and technology to produce astonishing illusions. He began his performing career as a stage magician and manipulator, winning many awards and establishing an international reputation as one of the world¹s most unique performers. His interest in computer generated imagery led him to incorporating video and digital technology in his work and the development of a new form of contemporary illusion. The expansion of the internet and social media provided more opportunities for digital illusions and ways of interacting with audiences and creating magically augmented realities. Marco is a keen advocate of the open source community, working with artists, writers and technologists to create new experiences and research the practical uses of the technology of illusion. Marco continues to perform around the world, is a media consultant on the subject of magic and illusion and lectures at international conferences on the psychology of deception and creative thinking. Marco is a Director's Fellow at the MIT Media Lab.
