CAE Sponsors SG13 Opening Reception Dinner, Texas BBQ Style!

Platinum Sponsor CAE Healthcare has sponsored the SimGHOSTS 2013 Opening Reception Dinner Tuesday evening August 6th, with a BBQ dinner and live-band at the famous Little Red Barn Steakhouse! 

CAE Healthcare continues its support of the Simulation Technician community with another amazing event to celebrate “the men and women behind the machines”!
The Little Red Barn Steakhouse, a family owned business created by Ralph and Lili Hernandez, opened its doors on Labor Day in 1963. Today the restaurant has grown into one of the largest steakhouse’s in the country and can seat over 800 people at one time. The minute you walk into the restaurant you are greeted by a hostess in a cowboy hat and boots. Although the restaurant may be buzzing with people, you are immediately seated with your salad served and your order taken. The Little Red Barn is not just a steakhouse, it is a place where you are greeted with a smile and surrounded by a complete western atmosphere. With a large dance hall and stage, we can’t wait to celebrate SimGHOSTS Texas style. Best of all, the first 180 Sim Techs to register to SimGHOSTS 2013 are invited to participate for free!
Join us for a steak dinner, live band and epic cowboy dance floor!

Laerdal continues to expand their support of SimGHOSTS by sponsoring the 2013 Keynote Address by simulation thought-leader Timothy Clapper, PhD. With a background in education and technology, Timothy will be presenting TeamSTEPPS: Empowering Simulation Technology Specialists to provide SimGHOSTS with new communication tools to utilize with their programs. Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS) is a powerful, evidenced-based teamwork and communication tool that can make a difference for Sim Lab operations. Timothy will provide an overview of TeamSTEPPS, followed by engaging, audience-participatory, team-based clinical demonstrations, which will generate the buy-in and confidence needed to begin the TeamSTEPPS curriculum integration process.

Special Thanks to Our Founding Sponsors:
Sim Techs, Welcome to The Gathering!

Now in our third year, The Gathering of Healthcare Simulation Technology Specialists (or SimGHOSTS for short) Organization and annual meeting were created to provide technology specialists within the healthcare simulation field with a community dedicated to developing and sharing resources, knowledge, training and standards for fostering excellence in the operation of healthcare simulation. We feel that Sim Techs are the primary operators or ‘end-users’ of simulation based technology and are quickly becoming the defacto program representatives regarding all future simulation-related technology purchases. So, check out the free resources on our website, consider joining us for more exclusive content online or in-person during our annual hands-on training event!
