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.
When it comes to espousing the value of healthcare simulation, Nathan Bush, DNP, doesn’t beat around the bush.
UAB Clinical Simulation’s Virtual Room of Errors gives learners the opportunity to test their safety awareness in an interactive 360° experience.
