GNSH 2020 Remote Summit

Due to COVID-19, the GNSH leadership has decided to shift to a virtual format.  The annual summit will be shortened to two days, 4.5 hours each day.  The goals of this two-day meeting are to first, contribute to the planning and launch of the 30 minute team engagement campaign, and next, to discuss how COVID-19 has changed the landscape of healthcare, its impact to simulation, and the opportunity to reset simulation to have a greater impact.  

This will be a working meeting, and we would welcome your contribution.
