In honor of Jennifer’s work and to commemorate her legacy INACSL has created the Hayden Vanguard Lectureship, funded by CAE Healthcare, which is awarded annually to an INACSL member who has contributed to the discipline and moved simulation forward in a meaningful way through their research, program, evaluation, or similar scholarly product.
