NLN Simulation Innovation Resource Center courses are an online e-learning solution for simulation faculty and staff development. SIRC courses are designed for faculty and staff development, and include topics covering everything from the basics of integrating and debriefing simulations, to conducting evaluation and research. Continuing Education (CE) credits are offered for each of these courses.
SSH seeks to improve performance and reduce errors in patient care through the use of simulation. Established in 2004 by professionals using simulation for education, testing, and research in health care, SSH membership includes physicians, nurses, allied health and paramedical personnel, researchers, educators and developers from around the globe. SSH fosters the improvement and application of simulation–based modalities such as human patient simulators, virtual reality, standardized patients and task trainers.
INACSL membership provides the education, resources and tools that best address your current challenges and helps support your goals of learning about the latest developments in simulation, all while ensuring you’re enabled to provide the most comprehensive education and training for high quality patient care.
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.
A network of peers and experts in the realm of simulation, hosted by Laerdal. There are semi-annual conferences for simulation pedagogy and technology.

The HealthySimulation.com writing team has shared their passion for simulation in healthcare by writing over 4,000 articles so far!
A group that is a bridge between technology and faculty by providing a range of experiences with sim techs from all over the globe.
Based on continuing contributions from the simulation community, thesimtech's goal is to become an 'online hub' for sharing ideas and information for all things related to medical simulation.
Currently you will find:- A collection of free medical simulation scenarios contributed from various educators. Feel free to modify or run them as they are designed.
- An audio / visual stimuli database where you will find high quality image, video and audio files to use in your scenarios. Current sections are: ECG / EKGs (images), Ultrasounds (videos), X-Rays (images), Other (images) and Audio Clips. There also also links to various A/V solutions, often used in debriefing.
- Moulage information including 'How To' videos and documents.
- Resources has various documents/templates used at simulation labs that you may download.
- Links is a list of links to other online simulation based websites.
