Through UAB Clinical Simulation’s ‘One Week Less’ simulation, learners experience just how quickly decisions surrounding patients with complex mental health disorders and developmental disabilities can ripple throughout a hospital, healthcare system and communities across Alabama.
UAB Clinical Simulation recently partnered with faculty from UAB’s Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care Medicine to pilot the FCCS-OB course, combining evidence-based instruction with multiple simulation modalities to prepare learners for some of the most complex emergencies in OB care.
For Dr. Andrew Hackney, simulation has been an integral part of his medical education from the very beginning. A self-described hands-on learner, Hackney credits simulation with helping transform classroom concepts into practical clinical skills.
Some UAB Medicine clinical areas will be transitioning from the Lifepak 20 to the Lifepak 35 monitor/defibrillator. To support this transition, iSim is developing brief, interactive learning resources to help staff become familiar with key device functions.
