We take some time to talk to Dr. Ryan Ribeira who is the outgoing chair of the SSH Corporate Round Table. What is the corporate round table, first off, there are no knights involved. Sad right? What the corporate round table is, is a place where vendors can interact with SSH, and have a two-way dialog about what the future of healthcare looks like, and what are the needs of all of us are in the future. It’s our voice to vendors, and vendors' toys, through the society. Dr. Ribeira also talks about the importance of networking, SimVentors Showcase@ IMSH, what is was like to found Sim X and much more. So take a listen to a great guy, and enjoy.

Will and I have been so busy, that a little time has passed us by.... BUT WE ARE BACK!
This week we invited Deb Tauber to talk about her Sim podcast, "The Sim Cafe" as well as her company "Innovative Sim Solutions"
https://innovativesimsolutions.com/podcasts
https://innovativesimsolutions.com/
What she is mainly here to talk about is the difficult topic of End of Life situations and how to do a simulation to educate and prepare providers for this eventual situation we all go through. She has experience with both the situation and running simulations so we are so glad she was able to come in and talk with us. Give it a listen and let us know what you think with comments both here and on any of our social media profiles.
As always, thank you for listening.
Sincerely,

Episode 23 has another great guest Jared Kutzin on the podcast.
We were fortunate enough to travel to SimOps 2021 in Tampa, FL where I was able to take a class on Educational Fundamentals & Concepts from Jared and instantly knew we needed to interview him. In this episode, we go over a few of these and understand why everyone needs a basic understanding of them in our industry.
Take a listen, you will be glad you did!

Recorded LIVE onsite with masks on, at IMSH 2022 in Los Angeles, CA
We were honored to get time to sit down and talk with Dr. Haru Okuda. D. Okuda is an Emergency Medicine Physician, the Executive Director of USF Health Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Development (CAMLS) Simulation Center.
He also hosts his own podcast:

That you should definitely be listening to! At the time of the recording, Dr. Okuda was just days away from taking his term of office as the President of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH). We had another topic ready to talk about but thought it was more timely o talk about his hopes and plans for the upcoming year. That just means he will have to come back for the original episode we planned for him!
Thank you for all your support.
Sincerely,
Will & David

In this episode, Will & David have a chat with Dr. Penni Watts and a return guest, Matt Charnetski. They were both part of the team that worked on the new version of the INACSL standards. These standards are ever-evolving and a crucial part of any successful simulation program. So sit back and take a listen to our guests talk about the Swiss army knife of tools to help you make the most out of your simulation program. -David S.

This episode is one that I have wanted to do for a long time and Will was initially against it. So here is the disclaimer, if you are mad, it's David's Fault. We realize that there are a bunch of different names of our lovely fans out there, but there has been a huge argument in terminology. Even the day we recorded this episode, Dr. Scott Crawford let me know the reasons and the history of the name HSTS "Healthcare Simulation Technology Specialist" and the story is fascinating! But we will leave that for a future episode. When I started in Simulation, and for the first 8.5 years I was officially a "Simtech". So when any other term was thrown at me it was so foreign. I have come to terms with the difference and invited a good friend Matthew Charnetski to chat with us about the topic. We filmed this at SimOps 2021 in Phillip Wortham's office, thank you Phil. We have been wanting to get Matt on for an episode because we knew it would be a great time. We were not disappointed, he will be back. So sit back and take a listen, let us know what you think. Love it, hate it, don't understand it, either way, give us a comment and let us know what you think. -David
