Healthcare simulation centers are constantly being unveiled and upgraded across the United States and globally. As technology progresses, these clinical spaces are able to help transform how medical education and training are completed. These spaces have become integral to a learner’s medical education within a clinical education building, medical center, or training facility which is [...]
Healthcare simulation research is an important way for community leaders to work toward improving the industry overall. One facet of the clinical simulation industry where research has been especially necessary to determine best practices is that of discrete event simulation across healthcare (specifically during the COVID-19 pandemic). A recent article, written by an AI developer [...]
Throughout the years of medical school, learners are presented with vast amounts of information in anticipation of real-world patient care scenarios. The practice of healthcare simulation across these academic environments has greatly assisted the way in which they are able to learn healthcare-related methods, techniques, and principles. However, with a seemingly endless amount of information [...]
The International Pediatric Simulation Society (IPSS) is a key organization across the clinical simulation community. This year, the organization will bring renowned global experts together for the world’s largest meeting dedicated exclusively to pediatric and perinatal simulation at the 14th Annual International Pediatric Simulation Symposia and Workshops (IPSSW 2022) from June 10 to June 13, [...]
The goal of healthcare simulation has always been to improve education and training amongst medical professionals to ultimately improve patient safety and reduce medical errors. To help exemplify the impact the field of clinical simulation is having on patient care, research has been conducted to assess the effectiveness of practice. For example, healthcare simulations and [...]
Prebriefing is a critical component of healthcare simulation and can be employed prior to online, virtual, or distant simulation experiences. An educator-designed phase of simulation that is implemented at a designated time prior to the ‘hands-on’ scenario, this practice includes both orientation tasks and learner engagement activities that will enhance learner satisfaction, participation, and effectiveness [...]
