Dear Friends and Colleagues,
A warm spring welcome to you all. We are excited to share with you all what we have been up to over the past month.
March was very busy with our EC face-to-face meeting taking place in Paris, which we can not wait to tell you about.
Executive Committee Meeting
This month we held our EC Meeting in Paris at our venue for SESAM 2017: Centre Universitaire des Saint-Pères.
We were made very welcome by the local organising team during our visit and began finalising the outstanding details of our upcoming 23rd Annual Meeting.
SESAM 2017
Once again we are honoured to invite you to the 23rd SESAM Annual Meeting which will be held in Centre Universitaire des Saint-Peres, Paris on June 14-16 2017.
The programme is not only filled with great scientific content but we also have a very attractive social programme including the Gala Dinner at the famous Eiffel Tower. Please click below to get information of the social programme.
This year we are excited to welcome “Société Francophone de Simulation en Santé“ (SoFraSimS), The Gathering Of Healthcare Simulation Technology Specialists (SimGHOSTS) and International Pediatric Simulation Society (IPSS) in Paris.
All three associations will have special tracks of their own during SESAM 2017. Please click below for details of the scientific programme remembering to keep an eye out for all updates.
We would like to remind you that early bird registration closes in 21 days.

Endorsed Meetings
The 3rd International Conference on Medical Education under the theme "Simulation for Education and Patient Safety, Ride the Wave" was held in Beirut, Lebanon on 24-25 March 2017 as an endorsed SESAM meeting.
Our President Antoine Tesniere and Treasurer Marc Lazarovici delivered their presentations and workshops at the conference. The conference was a leading event on clinical simulation in this geographic area, covering topics on medical education and clinical simulation. You can view the photos by clicking below.
SESAM will be working with SimGHOSTS and SingHealth Duke-NUS Institute of Medical Simulation (SIMS), in organising the S3 Conference 2017 in Singapore between 31 October-3 November 2017. These three associations have the common vision of enhancing healthcare simulation training for simulation professionals. For more information about the S3 Conference 2017 please click below.

Accreditation
SESAM accreditation programme offers you the opportunity to demonstrate your institution's quality.
With this programme an institute can be judged and validated by an independent body, internationally recognised as an opinion leader in the domain of simulation-based education in healthcare. The use of the "Accredited by SESAM" Logo is a quality marker which will allow your institution to stand out and further underline its high quality standards.
You can access more detailed information on our web page.
Affiliations
Over the years SESAM have established strong relationships with other societies and groups and we actively encourage members to exchange thoughts and ideas through SESAM.
We are constantly welcoming national simulation societies to apply for affiliation to help expand the network of collaborating simulation societies.
Simulation Centres
Simulation Centre Networking Project: Our new simulation application is now available via our website.
This is helping to provide communication with simulation enthusiasts and information-sharing between simulation centers through an updated list of simulation centres in Europe.
We have also welcomed 2 new Simulation Centres this month:
Simulation Centre of Community Health Centre Ljublijana
Clinicum Test och Innovation Region of East Sweden
