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.

SSH is pleased to welcome new Director of Development, Jeff Hale, to the full-time staff!
During the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH ) in San Diego, the SSH Development Committee met for an in-person meeting to discuss the SSH Fund.
As SSH Director of Development, I think it's very important to put faces to the amazing SSH Fund donor list, so please allow me to make an introduction.
Do You Recognize These Names?
Kacey Call. Albert Muhumuza. Didina Barbalata. Amir Jamal Mansour.
If you don’t, these incredibly deserving individuals were recipients of a Beverlee Anderson Education Fund Scholarship for IMSH 2023 and IMSH 2024.
Named after the founding Executive Director of SSH, these important need-based scholarships help defray the costs of attending IMSH for simulation professionals early in their career trajectory.
