UGoLong Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I'm responsible for the use of simulation for a PA program and am interested in any experiences you have had that you either enjoyed or found lacking.

Acebecker Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 We had two sim labs while I was in PA school. They were both great. The first was an interdisciplinary event - we had RN and PharmD students all take part with me and another PA student. The two PA students played the lead role in evaluation of peds cases while RN students worked their magic and PharmD students made sure we didn't overdose the babies. It was great. Very hard for me at the time, though. The second one was mock codes during one of our mid-year weeks during clinical year - we all hovered around the mannequin as he interactively played out the events in an ACLS-type scenario. good stuff, but too many students per mannequin. I would recommend small groups of 4 (5 max) for those scenarios (we had like 8 at a time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktheshark89 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 We have a simulation center at our school and we do several exercises there each year with the medical students. 1-2 sessiona during the emergency medicine module in didactic, 3 during the EM rotation, an obgyn birthing session on a simulator, and scattered others depending upon your resident's teaching schedule in rotations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
