The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Stroke Scale helps health-care providers measure the severity of a patient’s stroke—and UAB Clinical Simulation is offering these providers virtual learning to produce real results.
UAB Clinical Simulation recently hosted more than 80 incoming residents from UAB’s Graduate Medical Education (GME) program for their initial HeartCode assessment.
In the realm of medical emergencies, certain procedures stand out for their rarity, urgency and inherent risks. Among these is the Blakemore procedure, a critical intervention utilized to stabilize esophageal hemorrhages.
Put simply, manikins are model patients. They’re also some of UAB Clinical Simulation’s most powerful and sophisticated learning tools.
Ultrasound guided peripheral intravenous (USGPIV) line insertion is considered beyond basic practice by the Alabama Board of Nursing. Fortunately, UAB Clinical Simulation offers procedural simulations in that same vein.
The setting may be virtual, but the lessons are real. UAB Clinical Simulation has offered virtual reality learning since 2019, providing an ever-expanding variety of modules to health-care team members across UAB Medicine.
There’s always room for Jell-O — especially in procedural simulation. When UAB Clinical Simulation’s Ca’Nesia Jackson thought to combine gelatin with water beads, the result wasn’t edible, but instead educational.
