Moulage applied for healthcare simulation is a skill that can easily be taught or learned to increase fidelity for the learners. Extravagant art and talent are not always required or necessary to be impactful. Moulage is the process of creating lifelike injuries and symptoms for clinical simulation scenarios to enhance the realism of the case. [...]

In the ever-expanding field of medical simulation, the newest technologies available are often flaunted as the “Next Big Thing” for medical education. Innovations from minor medical simulation teaching tools to full-body human simulators seem to happen every week. And while these innovations are exciting and have great potential, sometimes the advertisements for healthcare simulation innovations [...]

Intelligent Ultrasound has an ultrasound-guided needling simulator to teach multiple specialties from radiology to anesthesia how to perform safe and effective needling with clinical simulation. Practical skill development requires practice of not just probe manipulation but needle orientation, something difficult to learn on live patients. Ultrasound phantoms provide safe practice but are not realistic and [...]

3D Printing offers solutions to many issues identified by healthcare simulation professionals. However, the idea and plan of utilization behind 3D printing seems to be relatively new within the world of medical simulation. Some healthcare teams have capitalized on the benefits of 3D printing. Like most up and coming technology, there are still some gaps [...]
