We are excited to invite you to participate in SIMULUS 7th Annual National Conference of PediSTARS in Healthcare Simulation; which will be held in physical format from 3rd September to 6th September 2022 at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India.
PediSTARS (Pediatric Simulation Training and Research Society of India) was founded in August 2013. Since its inception it has played a key role in taking forward simulation based interventions in pediatric health care. PediSTARS took forward its mission of promoting the use of simulation by conducting various workshops, conferences in different parts of the country as well as globally.
PediSTARS conducts Annual National Conferences (SIMULUS) which sees attendance of various International and National simulation experts. PediSTARS has worked successfully in conducting various simulation based courses across India such as Faculty Development Program (FDP), Simulation Training in Emergency Pediatrics (STEP), Simulation of Critical Care Emergencies (SUCCESS), Newborn Emergencies (NEO SIM) and SIMULATHON over the last 7 years to promote the use of simulation at bedside. PediSTARS has also reached out to the community to simulation train public and police, teachers and students through its active bleeding control (ABC) for past three years. PediSTARS launched country wide tele-simulation program in collaboration with Laerdal – Simulation Training in Pediatric and Neonatal Emergencies (SPAN-T). PediSTARS received international best research award for the sepsis telesimulation project conducted in collaboration with CMC Vellore.
The society is affiliated to Society of Simulation in Healthcare (SSH), International Pediatric Simulation Society (IPSS) and the INSPIRE (International Network for Simulation based Pediatric Research, Innovation & Education.)
AIIMS Jodhpur is an Institute of National Importance which determined for patient safety and excellent healthcare and organizing this conference at AIIMS is another milestone in the same direction. Jodhpur is second largest city of Rajasthan known for Mehrangarh fort and Umaid Palace.
