Introduction to the Simulation Lab and SimMan®

This video is designed to help McMaster University Nursing School students orientate to the simulation lab and the patient manikin (SimMan®) before their simulation activities. Although it is geared towards the specific needs of nursing students, this video can also serve as a general orientation tool for other healthcare professional trainees who will come to the similar simulation environment for their educational activities.

Introduction to SimMan® 3G

This video is your introduction to Laerdal's SimMan® 3 G, a wireless high-fidelity patient simulator. SimMan® 3 G is a computer controlled, full body adult manikin with realistic anatomical landmarks that can simulate a wide variety of life-like physical findings.

Introduction to SimBaby®

This video will introduce Laerdal's SimBaby®, a computer controlled, full body, high-fidelity infant manikin. It has realistic anatomy and clinical functionality that allows for a variety of medical assessment and intervention techniques.

Art and Science of Debriefing

Presented by Dr. Walter Eppich at the Simulation Rounds on April 25, 2017 at McMaster University. This event was jointly organized by Centre for Simulation-Based Learning (CSBL) and the Program for Educational Research & Development (PERD).

Dr. Walter Eppich is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics & Medical Education at the Feinberg School of Medicine – Northwestern University. He is also a pediatric emergency medicine physician at the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. Dr. Eppich is an expert in the field of Simulation Debriefing. He has taught extensively on basic and advanced simulation educator courses and served as an invited guest speaker around the world on topics related to simulation, feedback and debriefing. His research interests involve healthcare debriefing, practice-based learning and team reflexivity.

Simulation-based medical education facilitator workshop: Part 1 — Basic concept

Dr. Ehud Rosenbloom introduces the basic concept of simulation-based medical teaching and training to instructors at beginner’s level. In the second half of this video, Kevin Middleton gives an overview on common pediatric manikins used in simulation, with a focus on features of MegaCode Kid (a full-body pediatric manikin) that is used for a pediatric education activity organized by pediatric residents at McMaster University.
