Christian Hanson is your "typical monster kid". He grew up wanting to make monsters, and he did for years. With Clay under his fingertips and foam latex cooking in the oven. Now he works for the Mayo clinics "Anatomic Modeling Unit (AMU). as a digital artist. He still uses traditional skills daily, but he has taken that foundation to new heights, and he wants you to as well. So take a listen to this episode and follow the journey with him. 

Sincerely, 

-The SimGeeks

Well, this episode is a great one! Something seems to come up almost every day. Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). Is it here to take over the world? Is it the next Skynet? Is it a fab and will go the way of the furby? Well this episode, we bring on Jeff Adams to talk about it, and he has gone DEEP with A.I. and thinks you should too, but with caution and intelligence. I will tell you I learned more that I now use in my day to day practice with this episode than any other episode I can think of. So strap in and take a listen, but listen carefully and with an open mind. if you do I really think you will get a lot out of this one!

Thank you, as always, for listening. Don't forget to look at our websites and support the podcast by purchasing our merch or telling your vendors to sponsor an episode! This is how we will be able to continue to bring you great content.

In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Beau Christian to continue to talk about the disaster that happened to his nursing school. If you didn't catch it, go back and listen. No, actually, you will want to watch this one on the YouTube channel. 

This time, Beau talks about his experience with the rebuild. The good, the bad and the overlooked. So kick back and hear the "Rest of the Story" (My tip of the hat to Paul Harvey)

More to come! Thank you for listening.

What would you do if tragedy struck your simulation center? How would you cope?  How your you still take care of your students and get them to be able to graduate? Beau Christian knows all too well. So take a listen to this first in a two part episode. See how Beau and his team went from ashes to excellence.

Ep. 39 Was out final we recorded while in Orlando for #IMSH2023. We had the pleasure to have Naomi Bender, and Carrie Gigray on to talk about the Native American Health Center they are building in Washington state to better educate and inform and take care of Native American people in that area. They have an IPE approach to medical education from a perspective that most medical education misses. So sit back and listen to this awesome episode.

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.

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.

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.

Well folks, here is episode 35, the final one recorded on the floor of IMSH, but not the last we recorded there. We end the on floor episodes with a familiar friend and face for the podcast, Matt Charnetski. He came on to talk about the research summit that he was a part of that proceeded this year's IMSH and about the Society for Simulation in Healthcare's work in international outreach. 

Take a listen, you know if Matt is here, that its going to be a great time. 

Thank you as always,

Our 9th recording from the #IMSH2023 Pressbox is here and its a great one! We were lucky enough to be able to speak to both Ms Desiree Diaz & Kellie Bryant about Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI). We have heard them talk about this topic many times and it is always a joyful and informative talk, and this time was just as good. So sit down and listen to this awesome episode. 

 

Thank you as always,
