Highlights from our 16th annual conference
Thank you to everyone who joined us for Navigating the Future of Simulation: Collaboration, Innovation, and Impact. The keynote examined a 2:1 immersive simulation instruction model alongside traditional clinical experiences for baccalaureate nursing students.
Breakouts and short sessions explored collaborative mass-casualty simulation, virtual and mixed reality, and using ChatGPT with VR to assess clinical judgment. Attendees also had opportunities to tour the simulation center and see demonstrations of VR and 3D printing.
Thank you to our 2026 sponsors
Your support helped bring Arizona’s simulation community together.
