Lately, I have been reminded just how much is moving through SSH at any given moment.&

As I write this, SSH just put the wraps on an incredible SimOps 2026. While every simulation program depends on the simulation operation specialists who create the cases, apply the moulage, run the sessions, and make sure that all needed equipment is functioning in top form, these vital personnel often go unseen.

This month, I’d first like to take a few moments to share some exciting news.

SimOps 2026 is fast approaching, and the excitement is building!

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.

As we head into the second half of 2025, I’m filled with gratitude and excitement for the momentum building across the SSH community.

Connection is defined as, “a relationship in which a person, thing, or idea is linked or associated with something else” and/or the New York Times game, where players are asked to make 4 equal groups out of 16 items, identifying commonalities between the items within the groups.

Can you make connections with the terms below? Can you figure out groups of 4 linked terms and what connects them? (The answers are in the message that follows.)

SimOps 2023 is a wrap!

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.
