Welcome

Dear Tuckamore Partners,

We are pleased to invite submissions to our blog, as well as "analog" version of the blog to appear in the newsletter starting as of October 2014.

This is a new initiative and we will be looking for short monthly blogs and articles that focus on the innovative use of simulation modalities, as well as related research in the field of simulation-based education.  The articles will appear in the blog and will be published in our newsletter.  

Submissions should be between 250 and 500 words and a picture or a video clip can be included.  This is a great opportunity to voice your opinions, present your points of view and new ideas and directions, while building your portfolio.  It  also provides a great opportunity for the trainees to start building their research and scholarship potential.

The deadline for submissions is October 18th, 2014 for the newsletter that will come out during the last week of September.

The potential themes for the blogs and articles could include, but are not limited to:
  •        Simulation in global health
  •        Human factors
  •        Simulation and gaming
  •        Simulation in rural area
  •        Assessments
