Medical simulation is one of the highest-impact components of modern clinical education. Despite this reality, integrating this training methodology as a regular part of a curriculum often presents a challenge, especially when some in academia still struggle to see healthcare simulation’s importance. This article serves as a field guide to promoting this integration with tactics [...]
Free anatomy apps for medical students can help advance their understanding of the bodily structure of humans, animals and other living organisms from the convenience of their computer, tablet or phone. There are a number of these applications specifically designed for Macintosh computers, which are designed and marketed by Apple Inc. This article will share [...]
With the rise of remote-access telepresence robots, clinical simulation educators have begun to consider whether this technology can help meet their program’s objectives. Before this technology can be implemented, simulation administrators and educators must understand how remote robots provide telepresence capability. Using this knowledge, the health care simulationist can then decide if they would like [...]
Clinical simulation debriefing software is designed to help record learner actions during healthcare simulations for use in post-scenario debriefing. This software can help simulationists collect critical data points to reach desired learning outcomes. While meaningless information can create a challenge, targeted data collection can be used to help organizations visualize healthcare simulation’s overall impact on [...]
