Healthcare Simulation course design is a complex process and requires the input of a diverse team and a variety of resources to produce high-quality learning experiences. While it is the responsibility of the clinical simulation educator to design and develop simulation course content in a medical simulation program, the healthcare simulation technology specialist (HSTS) plays [...]
Running audiovisual (A/V) debriefing systems in healthcare simulation is no easy task! From designing rooms and identifying equipment needs to selecting consulting firms and hardware integrators, and from installation to testing, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting — the margin for error is high all through the technical process. That being said, the benefits of overcoming these [...]
The COVID-19 global pandemic has shut down thousands of clinical education programs around the world, including countless healthcare simulation facilities. Lou Clark, PhD, MFA Executive Director of the M Simulation Program at the University of Minnesota recently shared with us their team’s “Flexible Operations Plan in the COVID-19 Response” which is an extremely useful document [...]
Comprehensive Healthcare Simulation: Operations, Technology, and Innovative Practice is a crucial book for Medical Simulation programs looking to maximize the efficiency of their operations. From the basic theories to advanced practices, the latest healthcare simulation book has been praised by readers as a “Must Read” item for anyone operating, managing, or starting a medical simulation center. Previously we shared Chapter excerpts [...]
