UAB Rehabilitation Pavilion takes first steps with systems simulation
The road to recovery starts with practice, and at the new UAB Rehabilitation Pavilion, that practice began with simulation.
Sim collaboration puts high reliability leadership to the test
High reliability leadership skills call for highly reliable training methods.
UAB Clinical Simulation recently provided a location for UAB’s Center for Healthcare Management, the School of Health Professions (SHP) and Press Ganey to deliver an immersive simulation experience for the center’s newly launched High Reliability Certificate program.
Clin Sim offers new VR equipment loan program
Virtual learning is more than a tool; it’s a reality. And a new VR equipment loan program from UAB Clinical Simulation will allow learners to sim virtually anywhere.
Start Strong: The Safety of Setup
When it comes to procedures, preparation is just as important as performance. Our newest iSim, Chest Tube Setup (Neonate), is designed to strengthen the skills of setting up for the procedure. From gathering and organizing equipment to ensuring safety checks are complete, this module highlights the essential steps that allow the clinician performing the procedure to focus fully on patient care.
From Classroom to Clinical: Biomed engineering students design new simulation trainer
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.
Sim First When Seconds Count: Simulations help prepare code teams
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.
Simulation saves lives at Russell Medical Center
When Allyson Garrett stepped into her role as education and employee health nurse at Russell Medical Center in 2022, she was eager to find new ways to prepare her team for the realities of patient care.
On Location: Where Real Spaces Make Real Learning
In simulation design, the setting isn’t just a backdrop; it’s part of the lesson. That’s why we take our cameras straight into the environments where the real work happens.
When Every Moment Matters Most: OB Simulations at UAB St. Vincent’s
In obstetrics, emergencies can unfold in seconds. Two of the most high-stakes scenarios—postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and precipitous delivery—were the focus of recent simulations conducted by the UAB Mobile Simulation team at UAB St. Vincent’s hospitals.
Practice Makes Prepared: RCDP at Lakeland
When faced with cardiac arrest, there’s no time for hesitation. Each team member must know their role, respond with confidence and act in sync.
