About Federación Latinoamericana de Simulación Clínica (FLASIC)

In 2007 the Latin American Society for Simulation in Healthcare (ALASIC) was founded by members from different Northern, Central and South American countries with the idea of building collaboration and networking from across the continent. In 2017, the FLASIC organization was born from ALASIC to act a federation of smaller regional simulation societies, which now maintains almost 1,000 members from 7 different societies who can collaborate and share via an online network.

About the FLASIC Journal (English)

Simulation research in Latin America has grown considerably in the lat few years. Due to the challenges of publishing research for their primarily-Spanish speaking members in english journals, the organization has developed its own journal to support simulation to latin speaking audiences. The new journal already has 3 publications produced with 3 planned per year.
