About this website
Open Source Sim is a 100% volunteer-run and community-generated collection of ideas on how to create high-quality and low-cost healthcare simulations. Our goal is to increase the number of tools in the toolbox, and provide people with the confidence and resources to create new tools if the right one doesn't exist (yet)!

Trading Post
We would like to develop a way to connect people who have equipment they want to get rid with others that would love to have it. We haven't worked out the mechanism for this trading post, but welcome your ideas.

Become Involved!
We use the the same software as Wikipedia (MediaWiki) and encourage everyone who works behind the sim curtain to become active members of this community-driven resources.
- To become a contributor, start by creating an account on this site by contacting kam@medsimkam.com
- To learn more about how and why you should get involved, take a look at Leveraging Open Source Collaborative Content for Professional Development and Development of the Profession, a workshop we hope to be offering at IMSH in 2018.
Much of the content on this site was gathered as a part of Behind the Sim Curtain, a website was created by Kam McCowan in 2007 to showcase a collection of tricks of the trade. That content is still available online and is in the process of being moved to Open Source Sim. Behind the Sim Curtain now focuses on the development of the professional and professional development of sim techs and operation specialists.
