Simulation center coming to SRMC
The Sampson Independent
Students from Sampson Community College will get their chance to receive hands-on healthcare training at Sampson Regional Medical Center. The hospital has announced a new project that has been in the works for quite some time. The two organizations have developed a simulation center set to open its door on the second floor of the hospital within the next month.

ETSU develops pilot 'code blue' interprofessional simulation
The Johnson City Press
A patient experiences cardiac arrest, also known as a “code blue,” while his worried wife stands by his hospital bed. Physicians, pharmacists, nurses and respiratory therapists rush to his side and begin lifesaving measures, quickly working together to stabilize the patient. Similar situations happen every day in hospital settings. Recently, this scenario played out in a simulation environment for students from East Tennessee State University’s health sciences colleges.

'We try to take it to a whole 'nother level': FDNY EMTs, paramedics are the best, thanks to their training
WLNY - TV
FDNY emergency medical technicians and paramedics answer nearly 5,000 calls across the city every day. Joining the team takes intense, state-of-the-art training. CBS2’s Hazel Sanchez recently got a behind-the-scenes look. Sanchez was there to see EMTs and paramedic trainees respond to a man in cardiac arrest. He wasn’t real, but as students like Kevin Rehrer attested, the scenario and pressure was as close as it gets.

From surgery simulators to medical mishaps in space, video-game tech is helping doctors at work
The Washington Post
Justin Barad never would have guessed that he would help operate on a gorilla during his residency at the UCLA Medical Center, where he was training to be an orthopedic surgeon. But in August 2014, the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens needed specialists to help Jabari, a 400-pound gorilla who was limping and unable to put weight on his leg. The surgery was successful — but it was a challenging endeavor for a team that didn’t normally operate on animals.

An ER doctor's 10 best visualization techniques to prepare for a challenge
Forge
Visualization — picturing ourselves going through routines to improve our chances of success — is a tool used by Olympians, skilled negotiators, musicians, astronauts, and many others. That’s because it works: In one Harvard Medical School study, researchers found that the brain activity of people who just thought through a piano exercise was similar to the brain activity of those who actually played.

Expeditionary Medical Support training keep skills sharp, ready
The Dayton Daily News
Serving in military medicine is a genuine privilege. It’s a daunting task balancing the needs of the sick and injured with the requirements of the Air Force mission, but to provide care for our Airmen, retirees and the families that support them is an honor. Training helps keep us ready for each mission at all times; whether it’s inside the medical center for our patients, in a simulation center with controlled scenarios, or in the field and in the air practicing “what-if” scenarios.

Surgical Science
One of the ongoing discussions in medical education addresses whether practicing a procedure on a simulator can translate to improved patient outcomes. We know that simulation resources are used to hone healthcare team performance. Institutions have also documented the value of simulation training in providing learners with a risk-free environment where they can practice surgical techniques. Now, a recent University of Michigan study directly addressed the link between simulation and patient outcomes. Their study proves the hypothesis true: regular simulation training can measurably improve patient outcomes.

Medical simulation brings high-tech training to Montana's remote clinics
Montana Public Radio
Health care providers, like athletes, need routine and rigorous training to stay on top of their game. But getting that instruction is challenging for those practicing frontier medicine. One Montana program is now delivering state-of-the-art simulated training to some of the state’s most remote clinics and hospitals. And experts say it’s helping save lives.

Next Generation Harvey realistically simulates nearly any cardiac disease at the touch of a button by varying blood pressure, pulses, heart sounds, murmurs and breath sounds. Harvey is the longest continuous university-based simulation project in medical education, and no other simulator presents cardiac bedside findings at the level of detail and fidelity found in Harvey.

Doctors compete in life-or-death scenarios for training at Columbus conference
WBNS - TV
Emergency medicine physicians are taking turns in real-life situations — without the stress of a having a real patient on the table. “It's a chance for all the emergency medicine residents from across Ohio to get together, a chance for all residents to learn from some of the best and brightest in the country,” said Brad Gable, System Medical Director for Simulation for Ohio Health.

Joint physician training improves readiness
CSMNG
Whether the military’s mission takes doctors to the battlefield or stateside to care for troops and their Families, military physicians are versatile. Maintaining and exceeding proficiency in critical skills is an important priority for the medical team, which is why Evans Army Community Hospital (EACH) recently hosted a critical-care mobile training team at Fort Carson.
