As the increasing needs of simulation and the community of simulation practice have grown significantly, this conference will provide five days of an extended program full of interesting plenary sessions, discussions, workshops, competitions, and activities presented by national and international expert speakers.
The fifth version of the Saudi Health Simulation Conference (SHSC) 2022 continues to imbody the knowledge transfer of information of pre-covid and was preceded by four successful conferences. Initiated with the original theme: “Orienting the Community About Simulation Concepts;” followed by: “focusing on Simulation Use in Education and Patient Safety”. The third edition of the conference’s theme supported the Kingdom’s vision 2030. In 2019 - Prior COVID - the simulation community utilized the conference to unify efforts by connecting and collaborating. The impact of these conferences was Visible and this year we are looking to move the simulation community beyond Passion, Purpose & People.
All my Gratitude to anyone who makes this success story happen, and special thanks to my colleagues on the Scientific Committee. They have worked hard to translate all efforts and participation into a successful conference.
We look forward to seeing you physically or online between 6-10 November 2022 at the Crown Plaza Hotel, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
