Clinical Simulation and the Office of Interprofessional Simulation recently partnered with the Center for Medical Simulation, a Harvard-affiliated leader in healthcare simulation education, to offer Healthcare Simulation Essentials: Design and Debriefing.
Music therapists from UAB Medicine’s Spain Rehabilitation Center recently participated in a Code Skills Out of Lab experience, a simulation designed to build confidence in recognizing patient deterioration, initiating high-quality CPR and responding during the critical first minutes of a medical emergency.
Endoscopies can offer a closer look to reveal what might go unnoticed. Before expanding after-hours emergency endoscopic services at UAB Highlands, UAB Clinical Simulation used systems simulation to do the same for a new clinical workflow.
For David James, DNP, facilitator and program development manager with UAB Medicine’s Department of Interprofessional Practice & Training, simulation is ultimately about helping learners discover insights for themselves.
Looking for a brief, interactive learning experience to support your team’s education needs? The iSim library includes a growing collection of virtual simulation topics designed to reinforce clinical decision-making, patient safety practices, equipment use and specialty workflows.
UAB Clinical Simulation joined UAB Medicine Workforce Development at Barber Motorsports Park March 27 to help steer the Hands-Only CPR Challenge, an interactive, hands-on activity station pitting participants against the clock to perform one minute of chest compressions. Their patients? Healthcare manikins equipped with real-time feedback technology.
In collaboration with the Center for Patient Flow’s Conflict Response Team, UAB Clinical Simulation conducted an in situ (on-site) Code Q simulation at UAB Highlands to evaluate and support the implementation of an expanded de-escalation response model with acute inpatient care settings.
UAB Clinical Simulation is known for equipping learners with confidence, teamwork and hands-on experience. Sometimes, however, that mission becomes a bit more literal.
For Jen Pouyadou, R.N., simulation wasn’t necessarily part of the original plan, but education always was.
As simulation-based education continues to grow, one ongoing opportunity is finding flexible ways to connect people with high-quality learning resources when and where they need them.
