| FROM THE DESK OF THE DIRECTOR OF CERTIFICATION |
 Be Recognized. For Commitment. For Experience. For Knowledge. Get Certified!
Our new SSH Certification tagline speaks of many characteristics of becoming certified. Achieving certification is an important way of being recognized for your knowledge, skills, and abilities—as well as your commitment to healthcare simulation.
We’re seeing more simulation professionals adopt this recognition as our programs continue to grow. Part of that growth recently has shown through: the addition of hundreds more testing sites worldwide; an upcoming Spanish translation of the CHSE Examination; and the development of the brand new Certified Healthcare Simulation Operations Specialist-Advanced (CHSOS-A) certification!
The SSH Certification program continues to grow and serve you—and the healthcare simulation community—through the systematic process of developing certifications that support you and your practice. With that in mind, our new exams (launched at IMSH 2019) are supported by the results of the international practice analysis—with input from all over the globe that ensured the examination blueprints match practice globally.
For good reason(s), so many of you have made the commitment to become SSH certified. But, not everyone has! To those who haven’t: is it time for you to join over 2,300 individuals from 37 countries who have achieved one (or more) of the SSH Certifications?
We will have testing at IMSH again, and, of course, we will recognize all of you who have become certified or who have recertified this year. If you want more information, please visit www.simcertification.com and take a look at what is required.
Be Recognized. For Commitment. For Experience. For Knowledge. Get Certified!

It is not just for video games. Students at A. R. Johnson Health Science and Engineering Magnet School in Augusta, Georgia, are some of the first in the county to use virtual reality to learn how to save lives through CPR training. The first course was taught at the high school recently, and they invited NewsChannel 6’s Ashley Osborne to check it out. The lesson starts even before they put on the VR gear. Dr. Khristi Palladino gave each student a prompt to read to set the scene. “You’ve heard something crash outside,” Dr. Palladino shares some of the scenario students read before the CPR lesson.

Quinnipiac University’s Center for Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences provides students with a simulated hospital experience that allows them to gain practical skills. The simulation lab, located in the nursing school, includes several hospital rooms as well as a space for students and instructors to debrief. The hospital rooms and manikins were recently on full display for Healthcare Simulation Week, which included facsimile pediatric patients and premature babies.

The University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine is cutting the ribbon Thursday on a new simulation center. "This mannequin here has eyes that blink, pupils that can constrict," said Dr. Christine Park. Director of Simulation Dr. Christine Park showed WBBM Newsradio one of the mechanical patients at the Simulation and Integrative Learning Institute. There are also human actors who will take on various roles to help the students learn.

A crowd of people gathered around Jonathan Nguyen as he spoke to a mannequin lying in a hospital bed. Stranger yet, this one talked back. As its eyes blinked and its chest cavity rose and fell from simulated breathing, it told Nguyen about its pain. This interaction displayed the latest simulation center for improving Veteran care, unveiled recently at the Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center in Richmond, Virginia.

When Dr. Hulda Einarsdottir assumed the director’s position at the Yale Surgery Simulation Center in 2014, she knew that communication was key to successfully introducing her virtual reality (VR) simulation curriculum. “VR surgical training provides procedural experience, opportunities for deliberate practice of surgical skills, and standardized resident assessment,” she explains. “But there are always hurdles when you introduce a new way of learning. I wanted to communicate the power of VR training to make resident students ‘OR ready.’ We successfully branded our program and trained our residents—but learned the importance of including all key players in communications.”

She looks like a shop mannequin until her eyes blink. On closer examination, her lungs are breathing, her heart is beating, her stomach gurgling. All her vital signs are being controlled by an operator behind a one-way mirror. The dummy may look creepy but she performs a critical role: helping to put new nurses who had recently joined a US hospital group through their paces.

Medical surgeons from five African countries have benefited from a two-day training in heart valve repairs, especially for children with cardiovascular conditions. The simulation course, held in Accra, Ghana, enabled the surgeons from Angola, Ghana, Namibia, Nigeria and Uganda, to practice the effective repair of faulty heart valves using the heart prototype in a theater setting.

Whatever our hands do — reaching, grabbing or manipulating objects — it always appears simple. Yet your hands are one of the most complicated, and important, parts of the body. Despite this, little is understood about the complexity of the hand’s underlying anatomy and, as such, animating human hands has long been considered one of the most challenging problems in computer graphics. That’s because it has been impossible to capture the internal movement of the hand in motion — until now.

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.

Change is a constant in healthcare. With change, of course, comes disruption, new learning curves, and even potential patient risk. In the context of our mission of helping save lives, we believe that simulation is an optimal means for mitigating the impact of change. Through simulation, healthcare practitioners can train in realistic circumstances before ever taking into their care a human life.

 In just about every healthcare facility, announcements exist to let the staff know of emergency events. Several factors, including training, skill, experience and practice, help mitigate a harmful autonomic reaction in healthcare providers. How does one hone their skills, and gain experience and practice without placing actual patients at risk of harm? On Aug. 9, The University of Georgia Health Center practiced "Code Blue" drills. These drills were simulation-based and reviewed medical emergencies.
