Breastfeeding is an important part of health. Most existing educational courses promoting breastfeeding are aimed at the health care professionals. However, it is the parents who ultimately decide if they will engage in breastfeeding. This misalignment between the target of breastfeeding education strategies (i.e. health care professional), and the actual decision maker (i.e. the parent) is of concern. To address this gap and increase parents’ access to breastfeeding education, we developed Breastfeeding Information for Parents, a knowledge translation project developed by Dr. Jennifer Abbass-Dick, which has resulted in millions of parents accessing our electronic resources. This indicates a need that has not been addressed to date.
Our collaborative work focuses on augmenting the existing eHealth resource with interactive, online modules to provide the parents with the knowledge , skills and attitudes to choose breastfeeding as an option.

Educators and simulationists spent a considerable amount of time developing simulation scenarios. This development is very time consuming, yet the products reside within institutions where they were developed. Consequently, simulation scenarios are not shared, they are redeveloped by many institutions, and they may be subject to institutional and individual biases.
Our PubMED/MEDLINE indexed repository of simulation scenarios, which utilizes our channel hosted on Cureus journal provides a solution to circumvent these problems. Curues is free online platform to share such cases globally; the peer review process, and the native collaborative tools on Curues (e.g. commentaries) help to avoid biases; and publishing these cases provides a scholarly recognition to the creators.

The mission of the Global Outreach Cluster is to form a global community where locally sustainable educational technologies and methodologies, improve the quality of health professions education and training and ultimately help people achieve the highest quality of life. We do this by identifying pervasive health professions education issues and aligning them with sustainable technological and methodological solutions through education, collaboration and negotiation
Funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the purpose of this podcast series is to inspire and inform listeners about innovation in health professions education through research, individual ventures, and entrepreneurship. We will be introducing a panel of field experts who will join us to discuss their work and share their experiences. Regardless of how unfamiliar you are with the research, we hope that this podcast will inspire you, our listeners, to be curious about the world we live in.

Cureus is an open-access, peer-reviewed, PubMed indexed, online journal. MaxSIMhealth maintains a unique channel within Curues, Annals of Simulation, which is dedicated to the dissemination of knowledge along the spectrum of scholarship. The channel is a space where simulation scholars and practitioners around the world have the opportunity to share and access the latest in simulation research, scenarios, and best practices.
Furthermore, we believe that rapid publication rates and creative formats such as technical reports and editorial-position papers, promote the creation of an online, peer-reviewed, and free repository of simulation cases, novel simulation technologies, and methodologies that can be shared across professions and geographical locations.
However, Annals of Simulation is more than a channel of an electronic journal! We are part of a simulation scholarship ecosystem. We support small and large conferences, symposia and meetings, by providing hosting and indexing abstracts and posters; promote innovation by creating portals for making the work visible through widgets and links; and create scholarly discourse by curating discussions using "comments" features of the journal.
We believe that by sharing, we can improve the quality of Simulation-Based Health Professions Education - and, therefore, of health care services, products, and systems everywhere.
