Recorded Webinar: Using AI and Augmented Mixed Reality to Enhance Training Experiences

Dr. Amar Patel, Chief Learning Officer at CAE Healthcare, recorded his presentation “Using AI and Augmented Mixed Reality to Enhance Training Experiences“. Artificial intelligence (AI), mixed reality (MR), and augmented mixed reality (AMR), have become a hot topic across multiple industries worldwide. Yet, educational programs are still grappling with how to integrate and utilize it, and educators are faced with creating and distributing content in a unique and relational format. Watch Dr. Patel’s presentation to learn how to expand your medical simulation training program with AI and MX (Mixed Reality)!

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI), mixed reality (MR), and augmented mixed reality (AMR), have become a hot topic across multiple industries worldwide. Yet, educational programs are still grappling with how to integrate and utilize it, and educators are faced with creating and distributing content in a unique and relational format.

We are now beginning to see how AI is reshaping the development and outcomes of the education process. While MR and AMR are reshaping the delivery methods and experiences of high impact content. Today, AI, MR, and AMR are perfectly positioned to enhance training experiences that drive competency forward. Watch the webinar on Using AI, Augmented Reality & Mixed Reality to Enhance Clinical Training Experiences.

One More Webinar: Integrating Simulation into a Busy Healthcare System

Presented by Russell D. Metcalfe-Smith, Associate Director for Simulation at Cedars-Sinai, this unique presentation is for those looking to expand healthcare simulation across an entire healthcare system.

The Cedars-Sinai Women’s Guild Simulation Center for Advanced Clinical Skills is an immersive environment equipped with the latest in patient simulators and medical devices. The center replicates the reality of professionals working together, performing different roles and using the latest technology within our system. Multi-professional clinical skills development, teamwork, improving communication and, ultimately, patient safety are at the heart of the center’s ethos. This proactive approach helps Cedars-Sinai provide the best possible care to patients and provides staff with the latest in educational technology.



The Cedars-Sinai Simulation Program is accredited by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, American College of Surgeons and approved by the American Society of Anesthesiologists. The program covers qualified medical and nursing staff and the whole range of allied health professionals. Russell showcases this busy program with over 20,000 annual users to share how it achieved its success — and shares how you can too.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Learn how to engage leadership of your health system.
  2. Understand how to develop partnerships to achieve stakeholder results.
  3. Describe ways innovation can be used to build simulation program success.

About the Presenter: Russell D. Metcalfe-Smith, FHEA, MSc, NRP, CHSE-A, CHSOS, leverages his years of innovative healthcare leadership within some of the world’s largest hospital systems to help healthcare systems make bold strategic decisions, reduce costs and improve patient care. As a senior leader, he has developed and put into practice transformative services in the international healthcare sector. From his early days as a registered paramedic and a head of resuscitation services in the United Kingdom, he learned how to maximize outcomes with few resources and little time. This fueled extensive research into more effective solutions, processes and procedures.

He gained experience within-hospital acute care, mental health, primary care and emergency care in Europe—and more recently in the U.S. He then delivered innovative training programs to international healthcare officials and clinicians, developing a world view of healthcare. Such exposure broadens perspectives, offering innovative approaches to change. At Cedars-Sinai, he provides the strategic, operational and program leadership for the Women’s Guild Simulation Center, which brings experiential learning experiences to 25,000 physicians, nurses and allied healthcare professionals annually.
