Minnesota Summer Sim Share

Hello fellow simulationists.  HealthPartners Clinical Simulation is excited to welcome you to our center this summer on Friday July 17th from 0900-1430 for a day of collaboration, connection, and fun! The day will include networking, breakout sessions with both role-specific and mixed-role topics, lunch (provided) and a Great MN Sim Showdown group challenge.  Our goals for the day include making connections across our sim centers and sparking innovation within our simulation community.  We are also looking to highlight 3-4 other centers or individuals that are interested in delivering a fast-paced presentation (10-15 minutes) on a topic they are passionate about or feel they excel at.  Please let me know if you are interested in sharing your team’s work with our larger sim community.  Register by July 1st via the QR code on the attached flyer and please reach out if you have questions. Feel free to forward this email onto any other MN simulations that are interested.  We look forward to seeing you soon!
