One of the things I’ve always admired about this community is how quickly it rallies when there’s an opportunity to strengthen simulation for the future. We saw that spirit in action during Healthcare Simulation Week 2025 with the SSH Development Committee’s Day of Giving campaign.
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.

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:
As we head into the second half of 2025, I’m filled with gratitude and excitement for the momentum building across the SSH community.
Happy Healthcare Simulation Week 2023!
It’s been so amazing to see the excitement around #HCSimWeek23! It is truly an honor to be able to be able to work in an industry with such dedicated professionals who work tirelessly to advance the field of healthcare simulation. We have such a strong community that has been built by our nearly 5000 SSH Members throughout the globe.
There’s no better time than today to consider joining SSH if you are not already.
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.
Recently, I’ve been reflecting on just how truly amazing so many recently released AI tools are proving to be.
It is terrifically exciting what they (and the speed of AI innovation) might mean for all parts of life — healthcare, obviously, already is feeling that — sooner rather than later. Count me in! In the meantime, exciting things are happening NOW in both SSH and the world of healthcare simulation, and we want to make sure you're in the loop. So, some updates!
Hello, CHAMPIONS! What a Healthcare Simulation Week we just had!

Last week wrapped my fifth Healthcare Simulation Week, however, this year was a first for me in a lot of positive ways. I want to share a couple of those stellar things with you from my perspective as Director of Marketing and what I think it means for SSH going forward.
