The Society for Simulation in Healthcare, aka SSH, is the leading interprofessional association for simulation professionals. SSH is 5,200+ members strong—an international community of physicians, nurses, technologists, professors and other specialists advocating healthcare simulation in education, practice and research. The purpose of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare is to serve a global community of practice enhancing the quality of healthcare.

The Association of Standardized Patient Educators (ASPE) is the international organization of simulation educators dedicated to:

• Promoting best practices in the application of SP methodology for education, assessment and research
• Fostering the dissemination of research and scholarship in the field of SP methodology
• Advancing the professional knowledge and skills of its members
• Transforming professional performance through the power of human interaction.

SimGHOSTS’ mission is to support individuals and institutions using healthcare simulation technology and spaces through hands-on training, online resources and professional development. Our goal is to empower our community to increase adoption and better utilize simulation technologies to improve learning and patient care outcomes.

Through our vision, INACSL believes that simulation and innovation transform lives. It is our mission to be the global leader in the art and science of healthcare simulation through excellence in nursing education, practice, and research. INACSL’s core values are discovery, diversity and collaboration. Through discovery we create, uncover and develop to build capacity and influence. Through diversity strength grows from accepting the voices of all and extending equitable opportunities to others. Collaboration allows us to work inclusively and propels the success of our organization. INACSL focuses on three themes, or areas which we must excel in to achieve our vision and mission. These themes allow us to focus and align our goals and objectives as our organization evolves.
