IGMA 2026 Virtual Conference December 4, 5, 6 - Meeting the Needs of Community in Times of Adversity

For many of us in simulation, and medical education and healthcare, it has been a very tumultuous year. Amidst social unrest and political turmoil, funding cuts, and restrictions and changes in educational and programmatic guidelines, providing patient-centered education to our students through GTA/MUTA/SETA work has become more difficult and more important than ever. When times are tough and we are feeling depleted, these are the moments where we can find strength in each other and serve our community and take care of each other. We are grateful to be in community with all of you, and welcome you to our virtual conference to discuss how we can adapt this programming to persist in improving healthcare and simulation education. We welcome your submissions to our abstract portal about how you have brought this work to serve your community, how you have persisted despite difficulties, and what you feel is most important in continuing to do this work.
