Despite COVID-19 challenges impacting the resources and growth of some clinical simulation centers, the Winter Institute for Simulation, Education and Research (WISER) has continuously been expanding over the past year. In addition to the center’s realm of influence, WISER has added two new satellite centers to the institute’s network. Along with expanding WISER’s reach, these [...]

The COVID-19 pandemic brought many changes to the world, including those necessary at educational institutions. For instance, many educators were forced to convert in-person learning to completely remote in a matter of days or weeks. Clinical simulation has been a mainstay in academia, even prior to the pandemic, and was ultimately thrust into the forefront [...]

To help facilitate the most authentic clinical simulation experiences and scenarios, healthcare educators often turn to wearable simulations. At the forefront of simulation education and training, wearable simulators can help enhance standardized participants (SPs), also called simulated patients, through realism and the opportunity for visual feedback. In an effort to meet the education demand for [...]

Healthcare Simulation requires clinical education, training, and patient safety organizations to develop new operational management strategies in-order to maximize simulation program efficiency and effectiveness, as well as to minimize staff burnout. As such, here we take a closer look at Chapter 15 “The Healthcare Simulation Technology Specialist and Management” in the Springer published book Comprehensive Healthcare [...]
