Professional associations contribute to a better understanding of the role / workflow relationship a given health professional plays in a simulation. For example, important questions have been raised on behalf of hospital pharmacists by the ASHP. Because a clear understanding of what a given professional can or cannot do in a simulation is an essential part of any simulation, participation by professional associations can help.

These pages will feature testimony, white papers and press releases from professional and other associations.
