IMSH Connections is a professional development program designed to help attendees make the most of their experience at the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare.
Last week, to close Healthcare Simulation Week, SSH posted the Healthcare Simulationist Code of Ethics - a document I’ve seen countless times. On Friday, though, seeing that incredible piece hit me in a different, deeper way I wasn’t expecting.

Fall is just around the corner, and you know what that means, IMSH 2026 notifications and registration will be announced soon in addition to our fall educational offerings.
Hello everyone,
As a professional society, we reaffirm our commitment to advancing the global healthcare simulation community through shared learning, innovation, and collaboration. Our conferences are a cornerstone of this mission, providing opportunities for members from a wide range of professional disciplines, personal backgrounds, and geographic regions to come together, connect, and grow.
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.
