A review of computer-based simulators for ultrasound training
Simulation in Healthcare (login required)
Computer-based simulators for ultrasound training are a topic of recent interest. During the last 15 years, many different systems and methods have been proposed. This article provides an overview and classification of systems in this domain and a discussion of their advantages. Qualitative evaluations have mainly shown positive learning effects. However, few quantitative evaluations have been performed and long-term effects have to be examined.

Low-tech teaching techniques may improve training on pediatric CPR
News-Medical.net
New, low-tech teaching techniques used by novice instructors may improve training for healthcare providers in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on children who suffer cardiac arrest. Researchers in a large multicenter study say their findings hold the potential to standardize and upgrade life support training by hundreds of thousands of instructors around the world.

CHSE program milestone
SSH
The Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) is pleased to announce that more than 200 individuals have completed the Certified Healthcare Simulation Educators (CHSE) program. Launched in June 2012, CHSE is the first certification for healthcare simulation educators. "The CHSE program will be an important part of the future of workforce development in simulation," says SSH President, Dr. Paul Phrampus. "It begins to recognize a pathway of excellence in the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes that are unique and important for professionals engaging in the utilization of simulation for education and assessment of healthcare providers."

UCSD facility built to make better doctors
The San Diego Union-Tribune
A nurse quickly moved to the man's side, coaching him to take deep breaths while another nurse increased the flow to his oxygen mask. Two doctors waited to administer a critical dose of nitroglycerin, which would help restore blood flow to the heart. Watching the scene unfold via video feed from a nearby conference room, Dr. Peggy Wallace couldn't contain her excitement. "Look at that. That's a team," she said, grinning like a proud parent.
Smart dummies aid medical training
Cayman Free Press Ltd.
The child on the gurney inside a brightly lit room in Cayman Islands Hospital emits ragged cries, his chest rising and falling quickly, as a monitor at his feet tracks his heartbeat and blood pressure and beeps ominously.
But this is no ordinary sick child. For one thing, he's plastic.
The little boy is a mannequin, one of several brought by a team of pediatric care experts from across the U.S. who were recently in Grand Cayman training and teaching local medical staff on the latest techniques, equipment and medications used in emergency child health.
