At SimGHOSTS 2018 Australia we saw something new we hadn’t seen before in medical simulation: realistic face moulage masks for simulators from New Zealand based company “MEDICFX”. Headed up by Nicole Heydenrijk, the group provides medical simulation educational departments with realistic trauma, surgical, and simulation moulage solutions that can be incorporated with current simulation devices, [...]
B-Line Medical recently shared an article on Medium.com covering “Simulation Center Audiovisual Design Priorities” which provides a few helpful hints to consider when faced with the difficult task of designing a sim lab space. While searching Google for “what to include in a simulation lab”, you get a couple of literature reviews, [...]
Today we are sharing a core concept recorded presentation from SimGHOSTS Founder Lance Baily on “How to Increase Technical Support Staff for Your Clinical Simulation Program”. Over the past several years, Lance has provided this presentation at SimGHOSTS, INACSL, IMSH, SESAM, S3, PASSH, and many other simulation conferences around the world to help simulation champions [...]
Virtual clinical simulations and scenarios also allow learners to safely interact in simulated learning environments, providing realistic training and practice that would otherwise be difficult to obtain. Healthcare Learning Innovations, a division of American Sentinel University, created Sentinel World, an immersive urban and rural virtual simulation, so students can safely earn simulated clinical hours and [...]
The use of simulation to enhance clinical skills for both undergraduate and new graduate nursing and medical students is well documented in the literature. However, in spite of current changes, students and new graduate Nursing students often find themselves unprepared and anxious when they begin their first professional assignments. According to the Nurse Journal, the [...]
Last week HealthySim attended the National Modeling & Simulation Coalition (NM&SC) annual conference at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), where we got a sneak peak of some of the innovative simulation and teaching technologies being used as a prototype in anticipation of the opening of the Dr. Edwin Davis & Dorothy Balbach Davis [...]
