UAB Clinical Simulation develops, delivers, and supports procedural, immersive, and systems simulations carefully designed for learners. Our team of skilled professionals collaborates with content experts from the various involved professions to deliver valuable, high-quality simulation events.
Simulation is a proven training strategy for all members of the health care team. The simulated setting provides a psychologically safe environment for care providers to practice procedures and high-risk clinical situations. Simulation not only improves patient safety, but contributes to the financial health of UAB Medicine.
For these and many other reasons, we will always advise you to “SimFirst”, no matter the procedure, event, space or process.
With the impending opening of a newly constructed fifth-floor specialty clinic, Cooper Green staff faced more than the challenge of navigating an unfamiliar space. They also needed to ensure they could respond quickly and effectively to medical emergencies in the new environment.
Sometimes, the best classroom isn’t a classroom. Responding to an emergency can present unique challenges that healthcare teams might not encounter in a traditional learning setting or simulation lab.
UAB Clinical Simulation has named Sharon Phelan, M.D., and Denise Graham, OTR/L, recipients of its second annual Sim First Award, recognizing their commitment to expanding simulation-based education and preparing healthcare professionals to respond confidently to critical situations.
