Clinical Simulation Committee (CSC) Report Courses in the new financial year have kicked-off in April 2018. The schedule for this year courses may be accessed via HKCA website. Historically many of these courses are fully subscribed by HA for trainees and specialists. Discussion is now in progress to make available some of these courses to all HKCA Fellows. At the meantime, feedback on how best to support the needs of our Fellows is welcome. Following the Strategic Planning meeting in June 2017, Council has formed a HKCA Simulation Development Taskforce to review the governance structure and recommend to Council the future directions of simulation-based education and training in HKCA. The Taskforce is chaired by Dr SO Hing Yu and has met twice over the last 2 months. HKCA has also allocated an annual scholarship fund to sponsor Fellows who are interested to attend simulation-based training courses (including train-the-trainer courses) and scientific meetings. You may access more information at the HKCA website.
