Julie Rice, MD

Hello fearless sim education warriors! My name is Julie (they/she) and I’m running for the Sim Academy Vice President of Education on the Executive Committee. I have extensive simulation experience including a Masters degree in Medical and Healthcare Simulation Education from Drexel University, 9 years as the Director of Simulation Education in the Department of EM at Johns Hopkins Hospital, the completion of several Sim specific training courses, and have completed curriculum development projects internationally in Malaysia, Uganda, and Lebanon. I regularly teach at national conferences and have been excited to present with many colleagues in the Sim Academy. I have been a member of the Sim Academy for 8 years and have enjoyed and learned from my membership on several committees within the Academy.

This year I led an initiative in the Sim Academy Education Committee to develop a workshop of debriefing and facilitation for the SAEM Annual Assembly. My goal is to build an opportunity for our committee members to work together, learn from each other, help promote each other’s academic work, and teach our education colleagues about what we do best! If elected, I would like to continue the development and implementation of similar large annual collaborative efforts so that Academy members can easily find avenues for networking within our specialty. I believe we should be leading education efforts on debriefing, facilitation techniques, and experiential learning within the SAEM community. Together we can develop engaging content that runs annually and works as a vehicle for collaboration and academic growth for us all!

Thank you for your consideration. Stay classy my friends.
