The era of simulation based training is transforming healthcare systems around the world. Medical education is evolving everyday and adopting simulation based learning is a pivotal part of the process of creating a competent Indian medical graduate as on today.

We at the department of Pediatrics at Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University Medical College and Hospital, Pune bring to you a unique opportunity to understand the various facets of simulation in healthcare as well as their clinical application.

We bring to you SIMULUS 9, in collaboration with the Pediatric Simulation Training and Research Society (PediSTARS), India, arguably the biggest simulation training organisation in India with international recognition and world class trainers – a chance to be a part of the biggest nationwide healthcare simulation extravaganza at Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University Medical College and Hospital, Pune between August 31st and 3rd of September, 2024.

SIMILUS-9 will offer a medley of workshops on pediatric and neonatal emergency care, critical care nursing, competency based curriculum development, neonatal, pediatric as well as adult SimWars- an inter-disciplinary competition for post-graduate students, fellows and nurses happening on 31st August followed by the conference on 1st of September, 2024. The icing on the cake will be the flagship program of PediSTARS – the faculty development program (FDP) – to be held on 2nd and 3rd of September, 2024. The FDP offers a journey of training potential national faculty in the art of simulation to ensure maximum benefit to all our students as well as practising clinicians not only across the country, but even beyond.
