Medical Simulation experiences during initial Emergency Medical Services (EMS) education has been shown to be beneficial in more ways than one. Interestingly, recent research conducted by Gurnakova and Gropel in Austria, suggests that experienced EMS practitioners may also benefit from healthcare simulation training (Gurnakova, J. Gropel, P. Prior Participation in Simulation Events is Associated With [...]

Every so often we take a closer look at the latest research in Nursing Simulation from the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL)’s leading journal: Clinical Simulation in Nursing. Topics include balancing a simulation center budget, individual vs. group debriefing comparisons, overcoming challenges in simulating mental health, innovations in simulated nursing, development [...]

The International Pediatric Simulation Society (IPSS) is dedicated entirely to pediatric, perinatal, and associated health care providers and organizations utilizing simulation-based education to improve care and safety for children. Edward J. Rovera recently shared on LinkedIn about the latest IPSS Pediatric Simulation reading list form the organization — an incredibly useful list of must read [...]

Moving at ludicrous speed, Virtual Reality applications are continue to make huge impacts across the entire field of Surgical Training via medical simulation. UCLA just published research showing a 130% improvement in Surgical Resident training with VR training, tactile haptic feedback research is showing promising results for physical sensation, machine-based learning algorithms for surgery performance [...]
