Mr. Ibrahim Amara specializes in neonatal resuscitation and is a certified BLS and ILS trainer. He is also a programmer of serious games with a CEC in this field. He has been in the medical simulation field since 2015 and has accumulated 10 years of experience, holding multiple certifications from Laerdal and Virtamed. Since the inception of the medical simulation center in 2018, Mr. Amara has been involved from the very beginning in its conceptualization and implementation. He provided his expertise in the center's architecture, selection of simulators, and preparation of all procedures. Currently, Mr. Amara coordinates the operations at the simulation center and is responsible for designing the annual medical simulation program and overseeing the pedagogical evaluation and follow-up of workshops. He manages the accreditation project for the center with the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) and has played a key role in obtaining both the full and provisional accreditations for the Medical Simulation Center. He programs medical simulation scenarios, implements quality improvement and risk management processes, supervises the technical operations of medical simulations, and trains standardized patients. In addition to these responsibilities, Mr. Amara supports new trainers by providing guidance and mentorship, ensuring they are well-prepared to deliver high-quality training. He also trains new technicians, equipping them with the necessary skills to effectively manage and operate simulation equipment. He stays updated with the latest advancements in the field and is an active member of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH). Mr. Amara participates annually in the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH), contributing to and learning from the latest research and innovations. With his extensive experience, Mr. Amara has provided expert guidance specifically for the Honoris network's simulation center at Nile University of Nigeria, where he played a crucial role in its establishment. He has contributed significantly to the center’s success, evolving from a consumer to a key advisor. He has also introduced innovative ideas, such as developing online simulations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, Mr. Amara has actively participated in research, which he and Ms. Ben Rhouma presented at IMSH 2024 in San Diego, California. Mr. Amara also follows various scholarly societies in simulation and engages with the international simulation community through LinkedIn, staying connected with the latest developments and trends in the field.
