Assess, Align, Advance: A Needs-Based Approach to Simulationists’ Growth
This event brings simulation operations professionals and educators together to explore two powerful resources—the Simulation Operations Needs Assessment Tool and the Simulation Educators Needs Assessment Tool—in a practical, relatable, and fun way.
Through shared insights, real-world examples, and interactive discussion, we’ll dive into how these tools can uncover gaps, clarify priorities, and support smarter decisions in staffing, training, and program development.
Whether you’re troubleshooting day-to-day challenges or planning for long-term growth, you’ll leave with fresh perspectives, actionable takeaways, and a renewed sense of connection to a community that truly understands your work.
Presenters include Matthew Charnetski, MSMS, NRP, CHSOS, CHSE, FSSH, E.B. Floersch IV, MPH, CHSE, CHSOS, NREMT, Kim Leighton, PhD, RN, CHSE-A, CHSOS, ANEF, FSSH, FAAN, Phillip Wortham, MBA, BA, CHSOS-A, FSSH, and Jarrod Young, MBA, BSE, CHSOS-A, FSSH.
