With more than 40 years of experience as a medical software and equipment specialist, Nady Rizkallah provides oversight on the maintenance and programming of all equipment in operation at the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science. Outside of work, Nady Rizkallah is a member of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) group.
The SSH is a nonprofit organization where professionals focused on simulation technology in medical settings work toward a higher quality of healthcare on a global scale. Its members work to advocate for and connect medical professionals to reliable, accurate information about the use of simulation in healthcare settings.
While the SSH members from some 50 countries work together to benefit the larger medical community, joining the organization offers a variety of individual member benefits. The primary benefits of membership include a free subscription to the informative periodical Simulation in Healthcare as well as access to an interactive digital platform known as SimConnect.
Through SimConnect, professionals working in the healthcare simulation technology sector can interact directly to discuss current issues, pose research questions, and use the platform’s resource library to support their research. SSH members also can use the group’s Live Learning Center, in operation 24/7, to participate in more than 100 courses on healthcare simulation, all of which are sanctioned by the Accredited Council for Continuing Medical Education.
Full membership carries a fee of $185, while student, resident, and retired professional memberships can be procured for $80. To learn more about the application process, visit www.ssih.org/Membership-Benefits.
