Transgender patient simulation debuts in University of Minnesota nursing school
The Minnesota Daily
From September 11:
Students at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing will participate in a new transgender patient simulation this fall to learn how to better care for transgender patients. The simulation will take place in September and will teach students how care can be different for transgender or nonbinary patients. The teachers, who will be transgender or nonbinary people themselves, will take on the role of the patient and assessed by students.

Lifelike silicone masks allow nursing students to simulate geriatric care
University of Colorado - Colorado Springs Communique
From September 4: Students in the Helen and Arthur E. Johnson Beth-El College of Nursing and Health Sciences have plenty of high-tech opportunities to practice patient care. The college’s Clinical Simulation Center allows students to practice caring for patients on realistic mannequins made from plastic and latex and powered by a Windows server. The pretend patients can breathe, blink, vomit, bleed, cry and cough up sputum. They can even suffer a runny nose.

'Measles Simulator' shows how fast disease can spread in real time
Fox 45 Now
From May 15: A simulation developed by researchers shows just how quickly measles can spread if a community doesn't have a high vaccination rate. FRED, A Framework for Reconstructing Epidemiological Dynamics, was developed by the Public Health Dynamics Laboratory in the Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh to simulate epidemics, such as a measles outbreak. The researchers showed how an outbreak can occur from just a single case of measles in several U.S. cities, including Columbus, Ohio.

Video: Can robots improve a doctor's empathy?
Aljazeera.com
From July 10: The simulation centre looks and feels like a real hospital with a maternity ward and operating room, but not all of its patients are human. Some are modern, hi-tech training dummies, capable of simulating facial expressions and emotional states, as well as the symptoms of ailments. The robotic simulations are thought to improve medical and nursing students' critical thinking and communication skills, as well as preparing them for the empathetic component of healthcare.

 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.

Surgical Science
The FLS test measures the minimal requirements for cognitive knowledge and manual skills for laparoscopic surgery. Dr. Ahlberg successfully integrated
VR simulation into his laparoscopic training. The outcome translates to a 40% reduction of errors
in the operating room. Reason being he could measure
technical skills beyond the FLS test.

A virtual way to experience dementia
The Foothills Focus
From October 16: Imagine not remembering where you live. Forgetting your name. Not recognizing your own family members. That’s what it’s like to live with dementia. It’s a heartbreaking disease that comes in many forms — Alzheimer’s disease being the most common. But in all its forms, it is incurable and progressive. It’s also deadly.

How simulation is helping our health professionals to save lives
Noted
From October 16: The best way for health professionals to ensure they get it right, when it matters, is to practise together as a team. And the best way to practise is through simulation – replicating real-life situations, and getting hands-on experience, which can be put into action for people like Joanna Harris.

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.

Can virtual simulations teach a human skill like empathy?
EdSurge
From August 7: Can you learn empathy through interacting with a computer — even though, by definition, the skill requires understanding and sympathizing with real people? When Kathleen Marek first heard about virtual simulations designed to help teachers be more responsive and even empathetic to students in distress, she was skeptical.

Robot baby gives medical students practice treating tiniest of patients
CTV News Montreal
From June 5: For doctors, treating babies is among the biggest challenges. Some Montreal medical students are getting high-tech training on how to best approach their littlest patients. The tiny simulator, dubbed the Luna, looks and cries like a newborn, allowing the students to get experience that’s as close to reality as possible.
