Building a Career in Simulation - Lessons Learned from a 'CV of Failures’

25 March 2025 | 20:00 UTC l 14:00 ET | 11:00 PT

IPSS Member: Free | Non-Member: $50

A typical CV offers a narrative of success that renders our setbacks invisible to ourselves and others.  A ‘CV of Failures’ is a record of every unsuccessful job application, refused grant proposal, rejected paper and every other monumental failure in your academic history.   The CV of Failures reminds us of the missing truths … and some of the essential steps of what it takes to become a scholar.  In this session, Adam Cheng shares stories from his CV of Failures, and uses these stories to illuminate lessons learned to build a career in healthcare simulation.

Meet the Speaker:
