FROM THE DESK OF THE STAFF LIAISON FOR THE SSH ACADEMY
|
The SSH Academy and the SSH Research Committee are pleased to announce that the call is open to apply to be a part of the next SSH Virtual Scholars Program! The pilot of this program has been very successful to date, and the next cohort of virtual research scholars is now being created. This is a great program to support novice researchers in healthcare simulation who wish to expand their research prowess and skills—supported and taught by many of the leading researchers in healthcare simulation. This program has many benefits to the participants, including being assigned a research mentor from the SSH Academy and/or Research Committee. These mentors will support your learning and engage in the work to take your research proposal to the next level.
Full details of the program can be found at https://www.ssih.org/Credentialing/SSH-Academy/Virtual-Scholars-Program and the application requires the following:
- Resume or Curriculum Vitae (CV)
- A one (1) page personal statement detailing your reasons for applying, and your overall career goals
- A one (1) page description of your research idea or project within the field of healthcare simulation
- Two (2) letters of support from individuals within the applicant’s home institution.
- A $50 application fee must also be submitted for your application to be considered.
Further details on the application elements and the program requirements, fees, and benefits are available on the website.
Applications are due by July 29, 2020, and notifications of decisions will be sent out no later than October 15, 2020.
This is an exciting time for healthcare simulation, and research is essential to understanding the changes and value of simulation as it evolves. Be a part of the research and build your skills as a researcher in healthcare simulation—apply now!
If you have any questions, please contact Andrew Spain at aspain@ssih.org

3D printed phantoms for simulating difficult intubation of toddlers
3D Print
Conventional simulators for intubation today are expensive and lack the anatomical accuracy needed. As a solution, South Korean researchers developed a new simulation model with 3D printing and silicone molding, releasing their findings in the recently published ‘Patient-specific and hyper-realistic phantom for an intubation simulator with a replaceable difficult airway of a toddler using 3D printing.’

Aerosol boxes increase healthcare workers exposure to COVID-19
AAGBI via News Medical
A new study shows that certain aerosol boxes of a similar type to those that have been manufactured and used in hospitals in the UK and around the world in order to protect healthcare workers from COVID-19 can actually increase exposure to airborne particles that carry the virus, and thus casts doubt on their usefulness.

Can artificial intelligence replace the role of doctors?
DMN
The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has increased rapidly. Not only does it are likely involved in the field of entertainment and communication, but the future traces of AI in the area of health insurance and life start to be seen. In some countries, AI is integrated into sophisticated analytical tools to help medical practioners in hospitals diagnose cancer and other diseases. But can artificial intelligence replace the role of doctors?

Patient-reported outcome measures may be integrated into virtual orthopedic care
The Journal of Arthroplasty via Healio
The COVID-19 pandemic forced many orthopedic providers to embrace virtual care as part of their daily clinical practice. However, it has been shown that remote monitoring of patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) may be done in conjunction with the virtual orthopedic care provided to patients during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Robots will not take over the world (yet), but they may take over some industries
Interesting Engineering
Are you scared of robots taking your job? Should you be? Or perhaps you have caught a glimpse of the robots over at Boston Dynamics and have started preparing for the impending Skynet apocalypse. We admit that the potential for acrobatic, blindingly fast robots has us a bit spooked. However, this is partly because robots are set to disrupt multiple industries in the near future.
