Medical simulation training most often means any clinical simulation used to train medical physicians. To best comprehend how these medical simulations work, one must understand the physician’s scope of practice and specific roles and responsibilities inherent across medicine. Specifically, medical simulation focuses on training objectives such as learning how to diagnose, treat, perform surgery, and [...]

As part of HealthySimulation.com’s webinar series platform, A.J. Kleinheksel, PhD, MEd, CHSE-A, the director of research and evaluation for educational simulation at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, shared an informative presentation of why simulationists should design healthcare simulation for professional identity formation (PIF). Referring to the personal growth over time in becoming [...]

In an effort to boost engagement and build empathy, the University of Adelaide is installing immersive technology into the school’s cutting-edge medical simulation facilities. Using the Igloo Vision Immersion Room, learners will be able to participate in realistic medical scenarios. This is made possible because the clinical simulation technology is equipped with 360° projection and [...]

While the healthcare simulation industry continues to push for improved training and patient safety measures, more comprehensive video recording is in need of increased adoption. Much like in the aviation industry, where a “black box” is used, clinical simulation educators and administrators must find new ways to not only record all medical simulation experiences, but [...]
