The Society for Simulation in Healthcare is proud to announce t

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.

July numbers also set new cycle record.

HARRISON, Ohio (July 25, 2025) — The Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) has received a record-setting 92 accreditation applications in 2025, the highest one-year total in the program’s history. 

That number includes 62 total applications in the July cycle alone, also a record.

The July 2025 application period included:

It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through the year, and submissions for IMSH 2026 have just closed! We’re thrilled to report a record number of submissions and are looking forward to another exceptional conference this January.

That's just one of many incredible happenings with SSH, and I want to make sure you're aware of them all:

Since its inception, more than 290 programs worldwide have earned the distinction of SSH Accreditation, making SSH the world’s largest healthcare simulation accrediting body. 

Exciting Updates from the SSH Accreditation Council

Hello to you!

SSH Accreditation is proud to announce we received a record number application submissions from our most recent application deadline! 

On the heels of our recent SSH Accreditation application deadline …

I’m writing with the news that SSH Accreditation growth continues to rocket!  We just passed our most recent application deadline, and while we don’t know how many new programs will ultimately achieve SSH Accreditation, we think we’ll be near 270 programs in just a few months.

We’ve come so far in such a short amount of time considering SSH began its Accreditation program in 2010, with five pioneer programs achieving their status.

As we near the midpoint of 2023, I continue to be encouraged and energized

by the amazing work being done at the SSH Board level, through so many of our volunteer SSH Committees and Groups, and by our SSH Staff.

Is your Simulation Program doing outstanding work? Of course it is!

It’s time to get recognized for it! Achieving SSH Provisional or Full Accreditation lets healthcare simulation industry peers and leaders know that your Program is conducting simulation in accordance with standards of excellence recognized around the world.
