Impact of HealthySimulation.com Articles
HealthySimulation.com website currently engages up to 50,000 clinical simulationists, educators, technologists, technicians, administrators, and learners across the world each and every month. In September 2024, HealthySimulation.com launched a new website, which led to more simulationists reading articles and viewing webinars. The new website is user-friendly and helps readers search the content by topic, specialty, skill, and type of simulation. Additionally, all contributed healthcare simulation articles help to support the adoption and increased utilization of clinical simulation. Regarding the article content, HealthySimulation.com readers are interested in subjects ranging from healthcare simulation product reviews, resource updates, industry news, clinical simulation education, book summaries, research findings, professional development opportunities, and medical simulation conference coverage. Ideal guest authors should have extensive background knowledge and/or experience related to healthcare simulation and who hope to support other clinical simulation champions.
Applicants should be able to craft articles that are both authoritative and comprehensive about healthcare simulation subject matter. As per the HealthySimulation.com Style Guide (which is provided to all authors), submitted content is expected to be approximately 1,000 – 1,500 words, written with proper grammar and punctuation, and able to appropriately convey why the respective topic is important to the field overall. Note that HealthySimulation.com is especially interested in working with authors who can commit to consistent contributions or who are flexible on the frequency of article submission. If hired, guest authors can anticipate expected deadlines for article submissions, with dates clearly communicated well in advance. Compensation is dependent upon background, experience, and availability.
By sharing your knowledge with the greater clinical simulation community, we can work together to take the healthcare simulation industry to new heights! Specifically, we are looking for experienced simulationists to write in any of these three key assignments:
- “How to” articles for the main daily news content sharing how to do something in simulation (such as staff a program, install a simulator, or how/why of what you do in simulation).
- Key term explanations of a specific phrase (example – defining and explaining what a “birthing simulator” is)
- Industry updates / Research Highlights / Conference coverage / General news
Qualifications:
- Must have clinical simulation experience
- Must have experience writing to promote clinical simulation (in any capacity).
- Must commit to consistent writing support at an agreed-upon delivery rate (daily, weekly, or monthly).
- Strongly prefer writers with SEO experience.
