SimUniversity is an innovative SESAM initiative aimed at creating opportunities for undergraduate healthcare students to take part in a formative educational experience on an international platform, by competing against each other as teams taking part in simulation scenarios.

The competition provides teams of healthcare students from around the world with the opportunity to compete and learn from each other under the supervision of experienced clinical and simulation experts.

SimUniversity will take place during the annual SESAM meeting and thus also create an opportunity for students to be exposed to simulation content from international experts.

SimUniversity sessions will be observed by an audience consisting of SESAM Annual Meeting participants. Both groups have the opportunity to learn throughout the competition; the students by performing the scenarios and the audience by observing the students and considering the scenario design, medical treatment and debriefing styles. All sessions are specifically designed to provide a safe, educational and enjoyable learning environment.
