Mobile Simulation in Rural Healthcare Conference March 20-22 in MT
Just a few months away from March 20th-22nd is the “Simulation In Rural Healthcare” conference for America’s rural health simulation and education specialists, hosted by Simulation in Motion Montana and made possible in part by the Helmsley Charitable Trust as well as by Best Practice Medicine. Simulation in Rural America usually means unique trucks specially designed to maximize learning opportunities across a wide geographic area. Undoubtedly there are many great challenges involved with starting such a mobile program, and so any institution considering such an activity would be wise to invest in learning directly from the experiences of others, like these Montana based groups, who have already been so successful! Below is a snapshot of the event’s agenda:

About Best Practice Medicine
Founded in 2015 by Montana clinicians, Best Practice Medicine (BPM) is Montana’s fastest growing clinical education group focused on high consequence patient care encounters. As online learning options increased in the last decade the craft of adult education is being outsourced to computers and software programs. We believe that the best learning experiences are those that combine the innovations of today’s technology with specialized live instruction. Our team is proud to represent decades of provider experience in emergency, flight, and critical care medicine.
About Helmsley Charitable Trust’s Support of Simulation
n 2016, the Helmsley Charitable Trust invited Montana to apply for funding implementing Simulation in Motion Montana. This $4.6 million grant includes the purchase of three mobile simulation training trucks with a suite of high definition simulation manikins. The front of these trucks includes pull out areas and simulates an emergency room; the back simulates an ambulance. The manikins are high fidelity computerized training tools that talk, breath, have heartbeats, and can react to medications and other actions of the learners. They can live or die and can be reviewed over and over again.
