In a few days, more than 3,000 simulation professionals will arrive in San Antonio for IMSH 2019! This will be the first time IMSH has met in Texas, and beautiful San Antonio awaits. Everything is bigger in Texas, and IMSH 2019 is no exception. Ready to GO BIG with new ideas, GO BIG to build new connections, GO BIG to Redefine and Redesign Healthcare.
A unique learning opportunity is available through members of the Corporate Roundtable. Attend one or more of the 18 Learning Labs hosted by Roundtable members showcasing products and services to you, the leaders in the field of healthcare simulation. These Learning Labs are product and service-specific and offer a "hands-on" opportunity to experience the latest in simulation. Offered at no charge, no advance registration is required; however, you are able to add them to your personal schedule through the meeting agenda builder.
Corporate Roundtable members believe in mutual benefits to simulation professionals and industry. Members are committed to functioning in a capacity beneficial to all promoting visibility and recognition of the science and study of simulation into the future. The Roundtable has a membership of 29 companies with 18 Learning Labs scheduled during IMSH. Support their commitment to simulation by attending one or more Labs.
Labs are available in nearly every time slot (some in meeting rooms and easy to attend in between your schedule; others in the expo hall and most convenient while traversing the largest IMSH expo in history). You are certain to find topics of particular interest to you.

Use of simulation training may supplement clinical learning and decrease the learning curve for residents and fellows in training, according to a presentation at the Current Concepts for Joint Replacement Winter Meeting. Compared with cadaver labs, which lack pathology, provide minimal repetitive practice opportunities and are expensive, simulation training allows orthopedic surgeons “to learn new skills with no impact on patient care,” according to Kenneth A. Gustke, M.D.

Yellowhammer News
In the hallway of Samford University’s Experiential Learning and Simulation Center, a “standardized” patient stumbled to the ground to simulate a patient experiencing cardiac arrest. The Doctor of Physical Therapy student who was with him jumped into action and called a code. Within seconds, an interprofessional team of students gathered. Undergraduate nursing students took over CPR, Doctor of Pharmacy students prepared the needed medications and Master of Social Work students attended to the patient’s family. This is just one scenario that students were able to experience together during the College of Health Sciences’ annual Acute Care Simulation.

Increasingly, healthcare professionals and consumers are digital natives, meaning they have lived their entire lives with technology. Their worldview is a bit different than those of us who are digital immigrants, and they remember the introduction of each successive launch of innovative electronic technologies and devices. One of the latest and most promising applications in digital health is virtual reality. Researchers began using virtual reality in healthcare environments in the 1990s and applications have become more sophisticated over time, especially as today’s digital natives increasingly envision the possibilities.
