The Sim Cafe~ Interview with Matthew Chartnetski

Matthew Charnetski, MSMS, NRP, CHSOS, CHSE is the Director of Simulation-Based Education and Research for Dartmouth Health (DH) in Lebanon, NH. His winding path took him around the world several times between Iowa, Africa, Antarctica, Kazakhstan, Arkansas, New Hampshire and almost every bit in between. Matthew’s simulation career has been largely academic focused primarily in medical education prior to arriving at DH in 2019.

He is a graduate of the Master’s in Medical and Healthcare Simulation Program at Drexel University and is actively pursuing his PhD in Health Professions Education at Maastricht University in Maastricht, Netherlands. Matthew is also adjunct faculty in the Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions Master’s in Health Professions Education Program in the Simulation Operations Track.

Matthew is involved extensively with The Society for Simulation in Healthcare and The International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning. For SSH, Matthew is Chair of the Hospital-Based Simulation Programs Section and a member of the Internal Relations Committee and Chair of the Renewal Technology Subcommittee. He serves as a member of the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Task Force and serves as a Director-At-Large for the SSH Board of Directors where he is board liaison to the Education Committee. Matthew is a member of the Standards Committee for INACSL and serves as the Chair of the Operations Standard Subcommittee. He is currently acting as a co-planning chair for SimGHOSTS planning this falls S3 conference in Singapore.

His recent research interests largely focus on cultural considerations in and around healthcare simulation. His PhD work surrounds the role that culture plays in the adaptation and transfer of simulation curricula in transborder education partnerships. Matthew has contributed book chapters on simulation methodologies, moving simulation centers, and cultural considerations in simulation. His peer-reviewed work has largely been in standards of best practice in simulation, cultural considerations/diversity issues related to simulation, and as a member of the SSH 2023 Distance Simulation Summit.
