The SESAM Pre-Hospital Special Interest Group (PH-SIG) is a network of professionals dedicated to simulation in the field of pre-hospital emergency care. After activities in 2010 and 2011, the group was officially founded in 2012 during the SESAM Annual Meeting in Stavanger. Since then the PH-SIG has been involved in many different projects to foster the use of simulation for education and research in the field of pre-hospital emergency care.
In accordance with the aims of SESAM, we want to encourage and support the use of simulation especially in the field of pre-hospital emergency care. We want to provide an interprofessional forum to those involved in any kind of pre-hospital simulation. We belief simulation as a method of education and research can substantially contribute to excellence in pre-hospital emergency care.
