Maine Med's new $8M helipad saves time — and likely lives
The Press Herald
The LifeFlight of Maine medical helicopter landed at Maine Medical Center’s new $8 million helipad, positioning itself over the red “H” painted on one of two landing areas. Medics whisked a medical mannequin – nicknamed “Stan” – from the helicopter to a set of elevators. Dr. Leah Mallory, medical director for the hospital’s simulation department, followed them, stopwatch in hand, as the team made repeated training runs.

Wexner Medical Center students perform cardiac simulation
WBNS - TV
Aspiring heart surgeons can get serious hands-on training at The Ohio State University Medical Center. Medical school students are now able to experience through a simulation lab what it’s like to perform heart surgeries. Dr. Nahush Mokadam, who leads this instruction, was involved in the development of what is known as Kind Heart technology. There are only a few of these simulators in the world.

Discovery: UTD creates virtual reality 'patients' for med students
Dallas Innovates
A research team at the University of Texas at Dallas is using a new $750,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to study how augmented reality can help medical students prepare to interact with real patients. The research is expected to look at a number of virtual interactions, such as virtual peers, virtual professors, and virtual patients, to determine the best methods for social learning.

Nebraska's specialized medical care has handled Ebola — now it's taking on the novel coronavirus
The Albany Herald
Nebraska's state slogan "Honestly, it's not for everyone," should have an asterisk, because everyone with even the trickiest disease seems welcome at Nebraska's largest medical facility. Ebola, SARS, monkeypox, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, the Nebraska Medicine/University of Nebraska Medical Center says it is ready to care for patients with any of those difficult diseases. On Monday it was the novel coronavirus that kept personnel there up overnight.

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.

Billings students shadow doctors, nurses during immersion day
Billings Gazette
Natalie Romei, a Senior High student, wants to become a nurse. Specifically, she wants to work as a neonatal intensive care unit nurse. Recently, Romei got the opportunity to shadow a NICU nurse for the day as part of the Montana BioScience Internship Initiative’s Immersion Day at Billings Clinic, which paired 18 high school and college students with Billings Clinic professionals. The students also conducted mock operations and scenarios at the Billings Clinic's simulation lab.

Mass disaster simulation prepares students for the worst
Texas A&M Today
With Texas’ sheer size, it should come as no surprise that the Lone Star State has the highest frequency of extreme weather events in the United States. From hurricanes along the Gulf Coast and tornadoes in the Panhandle, to explosions at industrial plants and mass human violence, disaster can strike — and has — at almost any place and time.
