Medical training: Mannequin medicine uses simulation to learn
BBC News
Trainee medics and nurses from numerous UK and Irish universities have gathered in Belfast, Ireland, to practice their skills on simulation technology. The students competed against each other to treat a 'patient' called Diane. Diane is a mannequin that can present with different symptoms and even cough, vomit or scream - with her reactions all controlled by a technician with a monitor.

Improv in the hospital room: Actors help future doctors, nurses learn what to expect
The Pittsburg Post-Gazette
James Hartley and Andy Allen lie in hospital beds in different rooms, each recovering from a motorcycle accident that left them with bruises and a broken leg, temporarily unable to speak and unable to remember what happened. Mr. Allen wears a puzzled look that flickers between frustration and relief as the nurse tries to answer his questions, check on his injuries and put him at ease. In the other room, Mr. Hartley is doing the same.

Students witness the life of a medical combat soldier through simulation
Local DVM
Army recruiters gave Mount Vernon students a first-hand glimpse of what soldiers do in the field on a medical simulation truck. The simulation shows students different medical practices, training, and technologies used by the U.S Army. Jarren Jeffery the director of student services at Mount Vernon said: “We’re absolutely excited to have a partnership with our army military branch today to come and bring out the simulation experience. It’s helping our students realize that their career choices can be beyond any organization.”

B-Line Medical - A Laerdal Company
 As many people know, the initial cost of setting up a healthcare simulation center with equipment, inventory, audiovisual infrastructure, and management software can be substantial. These endeavors are often funded through grants, gifts or other one-time capital events. As a result, ongoing simulation center expenses must be justified. Selecting B-Line Medical’s SimCapture as the learning management solution for your center’s educational platform provides significant return on investment in critical areas of operation allowing for nearly immediate justification. SimCapture not only offers automation and efficiency tools, but it will help provide curriculum management and increased collaboration throughout your center.

University of New England delivers cutting edge virtual reality nursing education with Oxford Medical Simulation
Real Wire
The University of New England (UNE) is working with Oxford Medical Simulation (OMS) to deliver state-of-the-art virtual reality software to transform nursing education. The immersive virtual reality platform supports nursing students at the UNE School of Nursing and Population Health in providing simulated patient care to advance clinical decision making and communication skills with other health care providers. This training allows nursing students to practice in true-to-life virtual scenarios without posing risk or harm to patients and families.

E-learning improves graduate medical students' knowledge of safe opioid prescribing
News Wise
Even in the era of the opioid epidemic and abuse, medical residents report feeling inadequately prepared to prescribe opioids responsibly to patients who medically need them. However, a safe opioid prescribing e-learning program effectively educates graduate students on safely prescribing opioids for chronic pain and is effective regardless of year in training, according to research from the University of California, Irvine.

Mock gore artist helps NAIT students prep for careers in health care
CBC
Blood, vomit and amniotic fluid — it's all part of a day's work for Michele Schlodder. The former paramedic is a technologist at NAIT's Centre for Advanced Medical Simulation, where she creates hyper-realistic training scenarios that mimic health-care emergencies. She does moulage: using makeup to create gory wounds to go along with the scenarios. From bedsores to gunshot wounds, Schlodder said the fake injuries are pretty convincing. Many of them feature fake blood, while others might make use of Q-tips to mimic bones sticking out of a laceration.
