Junior Resident
PGY1-PGY2
- Introduce yourself to different simulation case/scenarios created by educators by utilizing resources such as TheSimTech or EM Sim Cases.
- Make an effort to reach out to programs/fellowships during conferences sponsored by SAEM, the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), or the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSIH).
- If possible, get involved in simulation research opportunities.
- Inquire if your institution has a quality improvement (QI) or quality assessment (QA) committee to learn more on patient safety and quality management as these committees are often tied to simulation workshops.
- By early PGY2 you should have a mentor set up. Your mentor will also be very valuable as your future Letter of Recommendation writer!
