We are excited to invite you to participate in SIMULUS 8, the Annual National Conference of PediSTARS in Healthcare Simulation. Dates: 23rd 26th September 2023 at the prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Kalyani, West Bengal, India. SIMULUS 8 is being organized in association with IAP West Bengal, the International Pediatric Simulation Society (IPSS), INSPIRE (International Network for Simulation-based Pediatric Research, Innovation & Education), and the Society of Simulation in Healthcare (SSH). The Conference will feature distinguished National and International leaders in simulation. It is a huge opportunity to understand the scope of simulation in healthcare and to interact with global leaders in Simulation.

PediSTARS (Pediatric Simulation Training and Research Society of India) is a Non-Profit Organization, founded in 2013. It has played a key role in implementing simulation by conducting various workshops, conferences across India to improve patient care. PediSTARS received the SSH Presidential Award in the USA in 2018.
