The state-of-the-art simulator at A-State is the only one of its kind in the state of Arkansas. It is designed to enable students and professionals to train in situations of medical emergencies.
“I can’t think of a more appropriate gift for an EMT and paramedic program — a simulator which replicates a moving ambulance,” said Dr. Susan Hanrahan, dean of the College of Nursing and Health Professions. “The college could not have afforded this equipment without the support of Medic One.”

A researcher has used 3-D printing to create an imitation human body, complete with realistic living organs - in a bid to help train surgeons dealing with emergency trauma surgery. The model was created from silicone gels and fibers to help prepare trainee surgeons for the mental and physical experience of operating on chest organs. It was created using CT scans of real organs to create lifelike simulations of the heart, lungs and great vessels in the chest.

 Emotional intelligence, or EI, can seem like just another buzzword to nurses who have not yet encountered the plethora of literature supporting the crucial aspects of EI in nursing, medicine, career and personal life. First mentioned in the 1960s, EI was brought into the mainstream by author Daniel Goleman with his 2005 book, "Emotional Intelligence."

Healthcare leaders must understand the patient experience on both the large and small scale, but widely distributed surveys and online reviews are not enough to get a complete picture.

 Extending primary care practice hours at night and over the weekend may reduce emergency department visits in patients with minor injuries and illnesses, according to a new study in PLOS Medicine. As with general practitioners in the United States and other countries, GPs in the United Kingdom provide primary care from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Patients needing care outside of these hours often turn to emergency departments for care.
