The Story
The main goal of the Simulation Center is to improve safety within patient care. Current and future health care professionals “practice on plastic”—honing their skills, refining advanced techniques and learning valuable social interactive tools for delivering important news to patients. This translational research becomes vital for creating the gold–standard in patient safety and medical teaching.
Residents Practice on Mannequin Based Simulations
Using mannequins in clinical simulations allows future and current physicians to “practice on plastic” first. The reality of mannequin–based simulations allows for virtual feedback using computers that regulate the mannequins’ compressors, mimicking pulses and chest raising. These life–like mannequins simulate heart tones and other vital cues when connected to monitors, providing real–time information to students. By practicing true clinical skills in a safe and regulated environment, future physicians learn permanent and excellent evaluation and treatment techniques.
