Our mission is to deliver high-quality, evidence-based education to providers who might not have opportunities to attend simulation training due to distance, staff coverage, and cost.
The third regional SIM Midwest conference, “Stronger Together – Improving Healthcare Outcomes with Simulation,” is happening in Grand Forks, N.D., on June 5-6, 2025. The conference will bring together simulation enthusiasts from the clinical and academic professions
