Jeffries has an extensive and accomplished record. She is immediate past-president of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare. She has consulted for national regulatory bodies such as the National Council State Board of Nursing (NCSBN), where she co-authored the http://www.sim-one.ca/community/news/ncsbn-releases-landmark-simulation-… target=”_blank”>National Simulation Study. Jeffries has also published scores of peer-reviewed articles and numerous books. Earlier in her career, she assisted in the design of a state-of-the-art medical simulation centre at Indiana University.
“Pam Jeffries is a recognized leader and innovator in the field of healthcare simulation,” said Dr. Tim Willett, Director of Research & Development at SIM-one—Ontario Simulation Network. “Pam has been at the forefront of many transformational initiatives, including—most recently—her leading role in the landmark National Simulation Study. Pam will be a great addition to George Washington University and the entire SIM-one team wishes her the very best.”
