About Adam
Dr. Adam Mossenson serves as Adjunct Clinical Senior Lecturer at Curtin University Medical School and is pursuing a PhD at Curtin University. He holds the qualifications MBBS, MPH, and is a Fellow of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (FANZCA). As a Consultant Anaesthetist in the Department of Anaesthesia at St John of God Midland Public and Private Hospitals in Perth, Western Australia, Mossenson combines clinical practice with academic and research pursuits. He is the founder and Managing Director of Vital Anaesthesia Simulation Training (VAST), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to enhancing simulation-based training for anaesthesia providers worldwide, with a particular emphasis on low-resource settings. VAST has delivered facilitator training programs in eight countries, engaging participants from over 31 countries through its Facilitator Pathway and Foundation Year courses.
Mossenson's research interests center on healthcare simulation facilitation, developing competency frameworks, and simulation-based education tailored for resource-limited environments. His work includes leading a mixed-methods study on resuscitation team training in Rwanda and creating assessment tools for simulation educators to support peer feedback, self-reflection, and mentorship. In 2023, he was awarded an Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) Project Grant valued at A$83,139 for the project 'Developing a competency-based facilitation evaluation tool supporting healthcare simulation in resource-limited settings,' conducted in collaboration with researchers from Curtin University and Dalhousie University. Key publications encompass 'A competency framework for simulation facilitation in low-resource settings: a modified Delphi study' (Anaesthesia, 2024), 'Assessing healthcare simulation facilitation using a competency-based tool derived from practice in low-resource settings' (Anaesthesia, 2025), 'Developing simulation educator skills globally through the Vital Anaesthesia Simulation Training community of practice' (British Journal of Anaesthesia, 2023), 'Resuscitation team training in Rwanda: A mixed method study' (2023), and 'Simulation-based learning for anaesthesia trainees in low-resource settings: the Vital Anaesthesia Simulation Training (VAST) Foundation Year' (2024). These contributions have advanced global standards in anaesthesia simulation training and educator development.
