Boet S, Savoldelli G, Granry JC: “Simulation en Santé: de la Théorie à la Pratique”.
First co-Editor. This book is the first one about simulation in healthcare in French language. More than 50 francophone experts in simulation around the world have authored a total of 41 chapters. The book includes an English foreword by Dr. David Gaba, Standford, USA, and a French foreword by Dr. Brian Hodges, Toronto, Canada. The book has been launched in September 2013. http://www.springer.com/medicine/book/978-2-8178-0468-2
