The Canadian Network for Simulation in Healthcare is a pan-Canadian inter-professional network for simulation in healthcare learning. Interprofessional groups may include (but are not limited to) Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Respiratory Therapy, Social Work, Paramedics, Diagnositic Imaging, Med Lab, and many others. The CNSH is a platform for interprofessional learning and synergistic teamwork, communication and skill practice for improved patient outcomes. The founding board members include leaders within simulation centres, institutes, colleges, health services, and universities from across Canada.

The Canadian Network of Simulation in Healthcare (CNSH) is pleased to announce it's new affiliation with the Society of Simulation in Healthcare (SSH). The affiliation was formalized between Linda Crelinsten (CNSH Chair) and Beth Mancini (President of SSH) at the annual International Meeting of Simulation in Healthcare in San Diego, January 27th-February 1st.

The CNSH and SSH affiliation benefits members of both as we will work toward international collaborations and shared resources that benefits simulation in healthcare education overall.
