Amy Cowperthwait and Megan Weldon are back again with Simulation Nation! This week the team talks about everything you need to know before heading to IMSH 2024!

The IMSH (International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare) conference serves as an invaluable platform for simulationists, encompassing professionals from diverse fields like healthcare, education, technology, and beyond. As IMSH 2024 approaches, the benefits for simulationists are abundant and diverse, fostering a collective environment for growth, innovation, and collaboration.

Firstly, IMSH offers a fertile ground for networking and collaboration. Simulationists, whether seasoned veterans or newcomers, have the opportunity to interact with peers, exchange ideas, and establish connections that can spark new projects or collaborations. This interaction transcends boundaries, merging insights from various disciplines and fostering a holistic approach to simulation in healthcare.

Moreover, IMSH conferences are hubs of knowledge dissemination. Workshops, presentations, and panel discussions cover a spectrum of topics, from cutting-edge simulation technologies to novel teaching methodologies. Simulationists can delve into these sessions, gaining insights into the latest trends, research findings, and best practices. This knowledge empowers them to enhance their own simulation programs and educational strategies.

Amy Cowperthwait and Megan Weldon are back again with Simulation Nation! This week the team talks about how to effectively recruit Standardized Patients.

In the dynamic field of nursing and healthcare education, incorporating realistic scenarios is essential for preparing future healthcare professionals. One effective method is the use of standardized patients (SPs) – individuals trained to portray specific medical conditions or scenarios for students to practice their clinical skills. Recruiting the right standardized patients is crucial for creating authentic learning experiences. Megan and Amy bring you a comprehensive guide on how to successfully recruit standardized patients.

If you’ve shopped in a department store of any kind you have probably seen a mannequin – that’s m-a-n-n-e-q-u-i-n.  But our conversation on this episode of Health Accelerated is going to be about m-a-n-i-k-i-n-s… manikins used for training purposes that can sweat, bleed and react in a variety of ways to simulate real-life clinical scenarios. Joining host Shelli Dankoff is Christopher Larkner, the Education and Operations Manager at Jump Simulation, part of OSF HealthCare.
