About The Conference

The International Healthcare Simulation Conference 2024, aims to advance the growing field of simulation in healthcare by addressing critical themes and objectives. Taking place from November 30 to December 2, 2024, at King Fahad Medical City in Riyadh (KFMC), Saudi Arabia, the conference will bring together leading simulation experts, researchers, and practitioners from around the globe.

Over the course of the three-day event, with the first day dedicated to pre-conference workshops, the scientific program will feature plenary sessions, panel discussions, workshops, and oral presentations that delve into major themes such as simulation operation, nursing simulation, emerging technologies, interprofessional training approaches, competency assessment, and research. Experts will share their work on topics such as applying evidence-based practices in simulation delivery, exploring novel technologies including the role of artificial intelligence, integrating simulation into evaluation methods, and translating findings to enhance patient safety and outcomes.

The conference's specific objectives include implementing evidence-informed best practices, investigating emerging simulation technologies, addressing challenges in competency evaluation, stimulating collaborative research across disciplines, and developing innovative strategies to raise public awareness and reduce healthcare risks. Delegates will gain insights into the growing importance of simulation for professional education and system-level improvement efforts.
Join us for this prominent gathering where world-renowned speakers will present their advances and insights. Participants will benefit immensely from networking with the global simulation community, exposure to state-of-the-art innovations, and guidance on benchmarking their local programs. This event firmly cements KFMC's position at the forefront of the simulation revolution, which is aimed at elevating standards of patient care.
