Global knowledge sharing: integrating underrepresented voices

To advance healthcare simulation science and promote impactful research in Europe and beyond through networking and research capacity building activities 

• bringing people together
• making connections
• developing the “know-how”

Outline
As use of healthcare simulation expands globally, practices from large academic institutions contribute disproportionately to our understanding of ‘how it should be done’. 

While many of these excellent practices have advanced our field, less visible and highly contextualized efforts to design and implement simulation-based education may similarly lead to innovation. 

Reasons for diminished visibility include geography, inadequate mentorship to publish innovative ideas, insufficient financial resources to attend professional meetings, and English as a second language, to name a few. 

The SESAM Annual Virtual Meeting (SAVE 2024) aims to engage the global simulation community, including those from traditionally underrepresented communities such as Africa, India, Sri Lanka, South America and the Pacific Islands, to germinate inclusive spaces to facilitate collaboration, bidirectional knowledge sharing and to identify mutually beneficial mentoring opportunities. The event will also analyse the results of a survey to be conducted by University of Cape Town.

Curated by SESAM, the event is a collaboration with AFriSim Network, SHARE and PediSTARS.
