CPMS Task Teams

The Committee is organized in two groups; one to carry-out day-to-day operations and active tasks to realize the charges of the committee (Committee/Executive Members), the other to review and provide feedback on the activities (Advisory Council). In addition, given the multifaceted interest and multidisciplinary nature of the healthcare M&S field, we make every effort to have a balanced representation of the different stakeholders by including representatives from government, academia, and industry from very diverse disciplinary backgrounds. With this in mind, the executive and advisory members of the Committee have been divided into three teams that represent the fundamental areas that are significant to our primary aim (Figure 1). Using this approach, we are able to bridge synergistic activities in simulation-based medicine throughout the M&S communities.
