Simulation, team training improves performance, patient safety
Science Daily
A study conducted by an inter-professional team of LSU Health Sciences Center New
Orleans faculty found that simulation-based operating room team training of medical and
nursing students resulted in more effective teamwork by improving attitudes, behaviors,
interaction and overall performance leading to potential increased patient safety and
better clinical outcomes.
Students take on 'real life' cases in medical simulation program
The Wichita Eagle
One patient is an elderly man with chest pain.
Another is a toddler with a history of seizures.
The third is a pregnant woman with a fever and chills.
None of them is real, but the intensity displayed by nursing and medical students charged with caring for them might make you think otherwise. The computerized mannequins at National American University, 8428 W. 13th, are one part of a local simulation initiative to reduce risk to patients and make it easier for young medical professionals to learn the skills they need once they have RN, MD or another set of letters behind their names.

Food for thought: Continuous career development
By Karen Childress
 Watching medical dramas unfold on television, one might conclude that doctors are never bored. Alas, written-for-TV is far from the reality of what the average practicing physician experiences, which is spending a lot of time caring for the worried well and doing paperwork, with an occasional intriguing patient or interesting case thrown into the mix here and there. Given that reality, how can you stay fresh and engaged over the course of a long career?
