Dr Kimberly Blasius and Dr Benny Joyner recently represented our pediatric simulation team at the 8th International Pediatric Simulation Symposia and Workshops in Glasgow, UK. Three days of in-depth discussion on the role simulation plays to provide safe and effective care to sick children and infants, and the continued evolution and expansion of pediatric simulation across the globe.
Drs. Blasius and Joyner presented the UNC Sepsis Simulation Initiative on behalf of the UNC Sepsis campaign lead by Dr. Tina Willis at the 2016 International Network for Simulation-based Pediatric Innovation, Research, & Education (INSPIRE).
