SIMWARS 2026
SIMWARS SRI LANKA IS BACK !
Assemble your squad. Master the chaos. Claim the crown.
The wait is over. The Trauma Secretariat is proud to announce the return of Sri Lanka’s premier simulation showdown – SIMWARS!
In trauma and emergency medicine, simulation isn’t just practice—it’s a necessity. It sharpens cognitive agility, hones critical thinking, refines psychomotor skills, and elevates clinical performance under pressure. Now, imagine that power wrapped in a high-octane, competitive format. This is SIMWARS.
A fast-paced, high-stakes tournament where simulation education meets the adrenaline of a live shift. Teams go head-to-head, diving into 8-minute clinical scenarios that test every fibre of their expertise. Faculty judges grade not just outcomes, but communication, clinical reasoning, and split-second decision-making.
It’s more than a competition—it’s a window into real-world practice, backed by expert feedback and fuelled by the thrill of the win.
SIMWARS Sri Lanka – Where simulation meets survival.
