The Fall Conference is held yearly to provide a wonderful learning opportunity provided by simulation experts in the community. The Fall Conference is open to all simulationists, including simulation facilitators and educators, simulation operations specialists, and staff. Topics are centered around Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice.

The theme for this year’s conference is United Through Simulation: Building our Utah Community.

Our keynote speaker will be Dominic Slauson.

Dominic is a Generative AI Specialist at the University of California Irvine. Dominic has extensive experience in the educational field, having held roles in faculty development, instructional design, and educational technology. From 2019 to 2024, Dominic served as Instructional Technologist for the OpenRN Project - a $2.5 million dollar grant from the U.S. Department of Education to develop OER nursing textbooks and virtual simulations. Through this work, Dominic leveraged generative artificial intelligence to create rich and engaging simulations that allow learners to apply clinical judgement in exciting new ways. In 2022, Dominic founded Codaptive Labs, a company dedicated to providing training and resources to ensure the responsible and innovative implementation of generative artificial intelligence in education settings. In his work, Dominic places emphasis on thoughtfully integrating AI technologies to enhance teaching and learning while prioritizing ethical considerations and access for all learners.

The conference will also include local presenters, simulation-based vendors, contact hours, raffles, and prizes. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
