Simulation in Health Sciences Education

Being a first responder is undoubtedly a challenging and fast-paced job. But what happens when the responder leaves work? Mor

USQ has welcomed the arrival of its new mobile simulation ambulance which will be used by paramedicine students for simulation training.

The Royal Women’s Hospital will be home to a new, in-situ simulation education initiative, following a generous $1.6 million grant from Gandel Philanthropy and an $800,000 grant from the Melbourne Medical School at the University of Melbourne.

In this short article, we explore how using real medical equipment in simulations can better prepare your learners to manage a ventilated patient, monitor vital signs, and perform defibrillation.

Research has found that university curriculum often goes light on one of life's universal experiences — dying. So some colleges have gone to new lengths to make the training more meaningful.

At a time when nursing enrolments are at an all-time low, advanced technology is providing flexibility to study online, attracting a wider range of people.

Simulated participants, often known as SPs, are individuals who receive specialised training to take on the role of a patient in simulation-based training scenarios. The RCSI SIM Centre for Simulation Education and Research is dedicated to providing world-class facilities and training. Mor

The COVID-19 pandemic brought many changes to the world, including those necessary at educational institutions. Many educational programs, especially healthcare-related programs tha

The benefits to crossing this bridge are manifold. Whether it’s training in a simulated emergency room, intensive care unit (ICU), or birthing unit, or practicing critical decision making via online simulation, simulations impart incredible knowledge and experience without putting patients or healthcare workers at risk. Experiential learning is what every healthcare professional needs, but often what so few have access to.

As demands on healthcare professionals continue to increase, training must support this expansion. Hear what Suzie Kardong-Edgren says about the benefits of adding Nursing Anne Simulator to your training program. Learn more at laerdal.com/NursingAnneSimulator

As part of their education, nursing students at the University of Adelaide gain hands-on experience through life-like mannikins that display all the signs and responses of real people and actors employed as standardised patients who portray health problems.



The university’s state-of-the-art simulation lab, Adelaide Health Simulation (AHS), replicates hospital

In order to meet the needs of modern-day learners, you need to deliver on their terms. In this article, we explore why virtual simulation, a method of treating patients via eLearning, might be the missing piece in your nursing curriculum.

Healthcare Simulation books are a must for professionals looking to develop or expand a medical simulation program. As conferences are few and far between and educational simulation degrees extremely limited, reading healthcare simulation books can really help provide your program with the advice gained from years of trial and error from leading experts! Our new Healthcare Simulation Books page provides a comprehensive list of all the major reading for our specialized field. From Building a New Simulation Program to Medical Moulage, and from Scenario Libraries to Lessons on Patient Safety from Aviation — the new Medical Simulation Books page has it all!
