The HPE 2009 Conference will bring together researchers, educators, practitioners, decision-makers, and students to develop synchronous efforts in setting best-practice standards for simulation-augmented health professions education.

A positive and creative environment will be the foundation for the exchange of ideas, presentation of research findings, and sharing of strategies for implementation of simulation in education. In addition, the HPE 2009 Conference aims to promote the formation of collaborative research networks at both the international and national levels.

We anticipate that with your continuous support the conference will grow to an annual event with a focus on health professions education.
