Pediatric Simulation in Community Hospitals

21 January 2025 | 18:00 UTC l 13:00 ET | 10:00 PT

IPSS Member: Free | Non-Member: $50

We will give an overview of the education needs of practicing providers in community hospitals.  We will discuss unique challenges in providing this education in community hospitals with pediatric units within a larger hospital.  We will then present our pediatric simulation education curriculum and what we have learned from our research among our participants.

Meet the Speakers:
