    Live from IPSSW 2026 Rome, Italy Dr Eduardo Frias and Erin Carn-Bennett on Sim Gym

    This episode is recorded live at the end of day 2 of the International Pediatric Simulation conference IPSSW 2026 Rome, Italy 4-7 May 2026. Erin Carn-Bennett interviews first time IPSSW attendee Dr Eduardo Frias from Canada about his simulation story which began in Mexico as a trainee doctor. Eduardo speaks 4 languages and when he initially moved to Canada he applied for simulation technician roles due to his newfound passion for simulation after leaving Mexico. Eduardo shares his IPSS and simulation story and all about his innovation project “Sim Gym” which has potential to give back globally to the simulation and healthcare community through humanised and accessible technology. Join Erin and Eduardo as they meet as strangers and leave as IPSS friends both inspired and hopeful from this amazing presentation and work. Welcome to IPSS Eduardo! Dr. Eduardo Frias is a Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition Fellow at McGill University, with a strong academic focus on medical simulation and healthcare education. He is an active member of the Centre for Pediatric Simulation at the Montreal Children’s Hospital and a senior instructor in the Disaster Simulation Program at the Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal, where he has also served as a program development advisor, supporting the growth and strategic implementation of simulation curricula. His work extends internationally through collaborations with institutions across Latin America, focusing on scalable and context-adapted simulation-based education. Dr. Frias leads the Sim Gym program at the Montreal Children’s Hospital, a simulation-based initiative that emphasizes deliberate practice with asynchronous evaluation to develop both technical and non-technical skills, enhancing clinical performance and patient safety. Dr. Frias has received recognition for his contributions to medical education, including a Mention of Honour in Education at the Centre Hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal and the Dr. Sadok Besrour Award for his innovative educational projects with direct impact on patient care.
