At the forefront of healthcare simulation innovation, Benjamin Berg, director of SimTiki Simulation Center<\/a> at the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa John A. Burns School of Medicine <\/a>(JABSOM<\/abbr>), has been recognized with awards for his outstanding contributions to the field.<\/p>\n

Berg was recently inducted as a fellow of the Society of Simulation in Healthcare Academy<\/a> at the 2024 annual International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare. Additionally, he received a Presidential Citation Award from the Society for Simulation in Healthcare for his exceptional leadership in advancing healthcare simulation.<\/p>\n

“Recognition by peers and selection for these distinctions is really a recognition of JABSOM<\/abbr>,” Berg said. “Professional opportunities and my personal growth in the field of simulation entirely reflect the JABSOM<\/abbr> ʻohana<\/span> and student body, both of which nurture the community of practice from which many significant impacts emerge.”<\/p>\n

Berg’s career spans over two decades, during which he has dedicated himself to the advancement of academic simulation through research, mentorship, education and training.<\/p>\n

Under his guidance, JABSOM<\/abbr>‘s SimTiki Simulation Center has become an international hub for healthcare students and professionals seeking cutting-edge training opportunities. Hosting numerous international students, the center has solidified its reputation as a premier destination for healthcare simulation education.<\/p>\n

He recently convened the Inaugural Society for Simulation in Healthcare Asia Pacific Evolution Summit, which drew 21 delegates from eight nations at JABSOM<\/abbr> in November 2023.<\/p>\n
