Simulation committee hosts Simulation Users Network Conference

The College of Health and Human Services Simulation Committee hosted a Simulation Users Network (SUN) Conference on Thursday, May 4, in conjunction with Laerdal Medical. Attendees from across the state of Michigan came together to learn more about effective simulation activities and how to incorporate them into various programs.

SUN conferences were originally created to facilitate a conversation between users at all levels in the field of health care simulation. This particular conference was attended by educators from hospitals, universities and simulation centers in the area.

Throughout the conference, CHHS and the WMU medical school were repeatedly cited as good examples of institutions using simulation effectively.

“We’ve worked with a variety of disciplines in the last year to construct meaningful interprofessional simulations with tangible educational outcomes that benefit all students,” said Tina Keeler, Clinical Coordinator of Nursing Operations for the Bronson School of Nursing. “It’s rewarding to know that efforts like this put CHHS on the leading edge of effective simulation.”

Congratulations to the CHHS Simulation Committee on their leadership in this growing area in health care education.
