Archibald P rofessor and Chairman of the Department of Surgery at McGill\, and Surgeon -in-Chief of the McGill University Health Centre.\n Dr. Viren Naik\, Direct or of Assessment for the Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Canada\ , a Professor of Anesthesiology\, and the R.S. McLaughlin Professor of Med ical Education at the University of Ottawa.\n\n\nThe conference will culmi nate with the popular SimTrek event\, where high-fidelity scenario constru ction\, team leadership styles\, and debriefing will be on display in a tr uly unique fashion.\n\nSimulation Summit 2017 provides an incredible profe ssional development opportunity for simulation educators\, physicians\, nu rses\, and health professional educators with an interest in simulation\; the ability to learn\, train and network alongside researchers and healthc are professionals from different institutions and disciplines is what make s Simulation Summit so valuable.\n\nThe knowledge translation involved in the programming gives participants practical tools\, insights and ideas to apply to their own simulation practice. In action\, they have the potenti al to significantly advance quality in health and patient care.\n\nWe hope that you will consider attending this practical conference. \n\nPlease vi sit www.royalcollege.ca/simulationsummit for more information and to regis ter for the 2017 Simulation Summit. \n\n \n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20171101 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20171102 SUMMARY:Simulation Summit 2017 URL:https://www.mcgill.ca/medsimcentre/channels/event/simulation-summit-201 7-270059 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
