Ep 38 Sim from a different perspective, w/ David Halliwell

This is a continuation of a lovely conversation we had in the corner of a room with David Halliwell from IMSH2022 last year. It was soo awesome that most of the way through it we both said, "AH! We should have been recording this!" 

Dave has a varied and awesome past and we were fortunate enough to have him sid down with us again and talk about some of his thoughts on simulation and tell a great story of an amazing simulation he ran years ago, but not in the way you are probably thinking of, so you will have to just take a listen and find out. 

 

We had a simply amazing time and hope to have him back some day. Thank you sir.

Ep. 37 SimGhosts Mentorship Program with Billie Paschal

This was a fun one for us, we finally were able to sit down with one of our biggest supporters and support one of her passion projects. Billie Paschal is the co-Director and co-Creator of the SimGhost mentorship program. We have both been involved with Simghosts and their mentorship since its inception and love what Billie and Nick Brauer (Who was on Ep. 10) have done with is as its evolved through the years. 

If you don't know Billie, are you really in Sim? I affectionately refer to her as the "Healthcare Simulation Cheerleader". She has an infectious personality that always lights up a room. So sit back and smile with us as you listen to Ep 37.

Ep. 36 Simulation in Amsterdam w/ Elbert Waller - After the Press Box Closed #IMSH2023

Episode 36 was a real treat for us. We have known Mr. Ebert Waller for many years, most of that time at a great distance, but we were able to sit down and chat about starting and building a simulation program in Amsterdam, and the differences in both medicine and simulation in Amsterdam. He has an amazing team and was sad to leave them, but since this recording he and his lovely family have moved to Canada to support his wife's education. 

So take a listen to this awesome episode from just outside the #IMSH2023 hall, after the Press Box closed. 

Thank you as always for listening.
