Boyers said she was pleased to be able to display the iEXCEL program to other leaders in the simulation field but also to show off the city of Omaha.
“Participants in SimGHOSTS will have the opportunity to not only visit this forward-looking medical campus but also immerse themselves in the amazing, friendly and lively Omaha culture,” she said.
Since 2011, SimGHOSTS has aimed to empower the health care education simulation community by providing it with the opportunities to meet like-minded specialists and simulation industry representatives to share knowledge of health care, technology and simulation, as well as provide an opportunity to develop skills and further collaboration.
“Health care simulation continues to evolve,” Boyers said. “And in being selected to host this conference, UNMC and the iEXCEL program have the opportunity to play host to others from around the world who are at the forefront of this evolution and pushing it forward.”
