This week's episode is a special one. You may have heard about the SSH Fund and wondered about it. You may even think you know what it's for, but Jennifer Calzada is here to let you know about this awesome program and why it is so important. So important that both of the SimGeek's have donated!
This is a very worthy cause that you should know about for sure. Let's hear it from Jennifer herself! https://www.ssih.org/About-SSH/Development

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!

He also hosts his own podcast:
https://health.usf.edu/ipep/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
