What do you gain from your IPSS membership?
IPSS has provided a forum for professional and personal development, a source of inspiration and a venue for collaborative work with INSPIRE. The resources from IPSS makes me a better clinician and a better educator. I have been fortunate to represent IPSS in American College of Emergency Physician collaborative which produced the Emergency Medicine Resident Simulation Curriculum for Pediatrics (EM ReSCu Peds).
Why did you join IPSS?
My initial purpose was to improve debriefing skills as IPSSW offered great workshops. Pretty soon I realized the breadth and depth of simulation related research and educational initiatives that were going on [through IPSS].
What are your research interests?
In-situ and multidisciplinary simulations in acute care, pre-hospital setting and emergency department, Procedural Simulations, and Disaster management education.
What is the most innovative sim-related activity you do in your work?
Tele Simulation for medical students and residents in the current era of social distancing.
What’s your favorite part about IPSSW?
I always look forward to Keynote speaker sessions as they bring out such interesting ideas and build bridges across disciplines! The workshops and research presentations are wonderful. However, meeting and networking with simulation colleagues from across the world is a big draw to IPSSW and how can I forget the social (party) on our second day evening!!
