Mission

The creation of premium simulation resources 

for quality medical educators

A contribution of service to medical educators . . .

Thesimbook.com was founded by C. Eric McCoy, MD, MPH out of his commitment and contribution of service to students and medical educators around the world.  Dr. McCoy is faculty at the University of California Irvine, Department of Emergency Medicine, and serves as the Chair of the Education Subcommittee for the Emergency Medicine Section at the Society of Simulation in Healthcare, fellowship director for the national and international medical simulation fellowships for the department of emergency medicine, course instructor for clinical epidemiology & biostatistics for UC Irvine School of Medicine, and Director of EMS for UC Irvine Medical Center. 

 

Dr. McCoy travels to national/international conferences annually to provide value to leaners and colleagues in the form of educational courses and workshops.  Thesimbook.com is the result of an international collaborative effort of passionate medical educators with a commitment to service.  If you have taken a simulation course or workshop at the International Meeting for Simulation in Healthcare, SAEM Annual Meeting, or ACEP Scientific Assembly, chances are you’ve crossed paths with a contributor to thesimbook.com.  

If you can answer "yes" to any of the questions below, you're in the right place . . .

Are you a quality medical educator?

Could your program and learners benefit from a comprehensive peer-reviewed simulation scenario resource that is immediately available?
