Debbie Rickeard recipient of 2014 SIM Citizenship Award
Monday, November 24, 2014 - 17:02

November 24, 2014: Congratulations to Debbie Rickeard, who is a recipient of a 2014 SIM Citizenship Award! The SIM Citizenship Award pays tribute to Ontario simulationists who have made important contributions in the healthcare simulation field that exemplify the values of SIM-one. It also honours those who have made outstanding contributions in education, teaching, creative professional activities and other endeavours that are difficult to capture and recognize in the traditional sense. This prestigious award honours collaboration-oriented, hard-working professionals who regularly go beyond the expectations of their assigned roles and responsibilities, to promote simulation, making a difference for students and colleagues.

The 2014 SIM Award recipients will be celebrated at the 2014 Ontario Simulation Exposition (SIM Expo) on December 4 and 5 in Toronto.
