When recent UAB biomedical engineering graduate Bhumi Patel began her capstone project, she and her teammates were tasked with solving real-world problems for real-world stakeholders. Their client? UAB Clinical Simulation.
Each year, UAB Clinical Simulation hosts interprofessional Code Blue simulations to sharpen teamwork, communication and life-saving skills. This summer, internal medicine residents, registered nurses and respiratory therapists stepped into a simulated hospital environment to practice ACLS in real time.
