PRELIMINARY PROGRAMME
SIM UNIVERSITY
Sim University is a flagship SESAM initiative designed to advance excellence in healthcare education through simulation-based learning.

The challenge brings together interprofessional teams of undergraduate students from around the world to engage in high-quality educational experiences that promote clinical reasoning, teamwork, and shared decision-making in complex care environments.

This year, 16 teams will participate remotely in digital simulation-based challenges designed to evaluate the integration of knowledge, collaborative problem-solving, and interprofessional coordination. The highest-ranking teams from the preliminary round will advance to quarter-finals, semi-finals and a final round held live during the Annual Meeting, under the evaluation of an international panel of simulation experts.
