The appeal of using escape rooms in healthcare education has exploded in recent years. There are books and articles published that include how-to guides as well as complete step-by-step instructions, and clinical simulation technology vendors (such as Laerdal, Sim2Grow, and others) have documents and resources readily available. Participating in one of the many commercial escape [...]

Human patient simulation has come a long way since the days of the first resuscitation manikin in 1960. In fact, healthcare simulation has really evolved into a high-tech science at the beginning of the 21st century. Today, the medical simulation industry offers a multi-billion dollar plethora of high, mid, and low fidelity options from task [...]

Most healthcare simulation centers are constantly challenged to find ways to reduce (or at least not increase) costs. While this financial goal remains a priority, the medical simulation centers must also concern themselves with keeping up-to-date with current technology and supplies, which can prove expensive. However, providing these resources for learners to use in practice [...]

There are many inexpensive and powerful ways to facilitate learning in a healthcare simulation scenario. There is a saying that “a picture is worth a thousand words,” and this holds true for what learners see when they approach a learning environment in a healthcare simulation scenario. Instead of a picture, however, the simulationist uses moulage [...]
