This visiting professorship provides support for a distinguished educator to visit a Royal College-accredited simulation centre in Canada each year, to promote the use of simulation in medical education, and its applications to improving patient safety. Click here for more details.
The Royal College presents these awards annually at the Simulation Summit, for the best oral and poster presentations of a simulation-based research or innovation. There are four awards:
Paper and poster presenters are automatically eligible for the Best Presentation Awards.
Submissions will be adjudicated by a panel appointed by the Simulation Summit Scientific Planning Committee. Presenters will be judged on the following criteria:
The Royal College presents this award annually at the Simulation Summit, for the best simulation-based research by an emerging investigator
