The AMEE Simulation Committee is charged with the responsibility of advising how AMEE can engage in and promote simulation-based education and assessment, feature simulation at its annual conference and keep AMEE members up-to-date with important developments in the field of simulation.

Our Projects

The AMEE Simulation Committee Journal Club

The AMEE Simulation Committee hosts a journal club annually at the AMEE Conference. Recently published scientific papers involving healthcare simulation are nominated by the Committee and presented by members of the author group themselves. Only four papers are included each year to allow for thorough presentation and interactive discussion with the participants. The AMEE
Simulation Committee Journal Club has the following members on the award panel – Lars Konge, Debra Nestel, Walter Eppich, Kristian Krogh and Ross Scalese. At the end of the Journal Club participants vote for the Best Simulation Paper of the Year.

The journal club serves two purposes:

  • To give the participants at the AMEE Conference an interesting, interactive, and quick opportunity to brush up on the latest scientific advancements in the fascinating and diverse world of simulation.
  • To honor scholars who have undertaken important research in healthcare simulation. The Best Simulation Paper of the Year will be presented with a prize of £1,000 sponsored by the Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation (CAMES)

    Other Projects: 

  • Scholarship - The members of the Simulation Committee published more than 50 papers in international, peer-reviewed journals in 2021. They covered a broad variety of topics centered on simulation in medical education, including technical skills, professional skills, under-graduate & post-graduate education etc. 
  • ASPIRE-Simulation - The AMEE Simulation Committee is collaborating with the ASPIRE-to-Excellence Simulation Panel, under the chairmanship of Barry Isenberg and Debra Nestel, in the promotion of the AMEE ASPIRE Award. 

    The AMEE Simulation Committee is redefining ways to leverage our networks with simulation professional associations for the benefit of AMEE members. 

    We also continue to develop a strategy for increasing AMEE presence at many simulation conferences.
