What is the Sim Challenge?
The Sim Challenge is an immersive simulation competition built exclusively for future healthcare professionals.
Teams of 4–5 students will compete through a series of simulated patient cases where every second counts. Each round challenges participants to:
- Analyze clinical scenarios
- Work collaboratively under pressure
- Demonstrate medical knowledge and clinical reasoning
- Communicate effectively as a healthcare team
- Present findings to a panel of judges
Each team will have approximately 15 minutes to evaluate, discuss, and present their case before advancing to the next round.
It’s fast-paced. Competitive. Collaborative. And one of the most exciting ways to put your skills into action.
