December eNews
Welcome to our Monthly eNews Can you believe that in less than a month it will be 2019! As we reflect back on our year we can't help but be proud and excited about everything we have achieved. Our new website, conference, SIMposiums, resources and scholarships have most certainly kept us busy and we would just like to say a big THANK YOU to all our members for supporting us. To our Board of Management, we would also like to say thank you for all of your hard work over the year and for your commitment to the VSA. Our final networking event of the year and AGM was a huge success. Held at the Australian Centre for Health Innovation on December 7, the event was a fantastic opportunity to hear about and discuss upcoming and existing projects in simulation. Being an informal session, it allowed everyone to catch up as well as learn about new initiatives. A big thank you to Debra Nestel from Monash & Melbourne Universities for an informative presentation on research. We look forward to working with Debra and NHETsim in 2019!

VSA Community of Practice
The VSA has been committed to providing an active and supported ‘community of practice’ with a key strategic focus on People, Professional Practice, Profile and Sustainability aimed at strengthening the Victorian simulation community.
In order to continue sharing and fostering our VSA Community of Practice, we invite you to send us information about any simulation activities or initiatives you may be undertaking, to include in our monthly eNews, on Twitter and Facebook.
This is is a great way to share our many resources and ideas throughout the simulation community and further create networks. Please contact us with any news.
