Memorial University of Newfoundland Faculty of Medicine Selects Industry Leading Simulation Solution

EXTON, Pa. - April 23, 2013 - PRLog -- Exton, Pa (April 23, 2013) Memorial University of Newfoundland Faculty of Medicine in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada recently selected an industry leading integrated audio-visual and software solution to help manage the operations of their simulation center. Designed to meet the teaching, training, and performance assessment requirements of a demanding curriculum, this technology will help learners practice patient interaction to improve overall patient care.

This turnkey solution encourages collaboration among learners, helping them refine communication and teamwork skills. Consistent practice with true to life scenarios helps learners develop confidence and attain knowledge for lifesaving decision-making.

Medical simulation allows learners to gain experience with various types of patients and cases that they may not encounter during their rotations and shifts. This will make them more adaptable to the expectations of an ever-changing medical environment. Learners will develop a sense of self-reliance, assisting them in preparing for unanticipated medical events and helping to improve their overall performance.

Contained within the Surgical Research Laboratory at Memorial University is the Medical Simulation Unit. The unit consists of an OR/critical care simulation room, a control room for scenario delivery and audio-visual taping, and a presentation and debriefing room, and houses a human patient simulator and several additional training simulators.

With Education Management Solutions’ (EMS) turnkey medical simulation management technology, administrators and faculty will be able to better utilize their center to educate and provide clinical research and teaching support to health professionals and the wider university community. The implementation of the solution will help learners realize the university’s mission statement and provide quality care when it comes time to work with actual patients.
