Why do we treat non-sterile practice tubing as a single-use consumable?
By focusing on the mechanical utility of the tubing rather than the clinical protocol of “one and done,” we’ve found a way to make our simulation budget stretch for semesters.
Huge shoutout to Emily at CU Anschutz for the inspiration. In my center, I’ve refined the process…

Thank you, Elizabeth, for sharing this innovative approach. It’s inspiring to see how rethinking “single-use” assumptions in simulation can meaningfully reduce waste while maintaining educational quality. Initiatives like this really demonstrate how small operational changes can have significant environmental and financial impact. I am a PI for…

The suction is a great idea. Thank you for sharing Liz! I have also used a syringe to “blow” out the air in the line for reuse, and leave it to dry for a day before resealing it. In the past, I also have used old school sandwich or bread bags (without the zipper etc) with a heat sealer to create a sealed package to simulate opening a new bag.

Moulage Group 3 months agoOur program has an excess of chest and back skins for our high fidelity manikins, so I am looking for other uses for that excess. One solution is to make permanent moulage on each of the skins for certain ailments or injuries. For instance, I have a chest skin that has a large rash painted on for anaphylaxis. What other conditions should…

I would suggest shingles and maybe burns. I worked at a school once where they did the burns so students got practice using the Rule of Nine’s. Can you share photos when you’re done?
-
Both great suggestions. I am looking to utilize materials that do not rub off if touched or fade/dry over time.
And yes, when I get it right, I will share photos.

Hi all! As per my understanding on Debriefing, the general rule for Debriefing is to take at least the same amount of time, or double the time spent on simulation. However, I find it challenging, as I feel a good amount of time is needed for Debriefing, especially when learners are novices, as setting time limit is equally important in a…

Leslie Chamblee posted an update in the group
XR – Extended Reality Group 3 months agoHello All, I have three cohorts doing VR this semester. I have the ability to cast the scenario on two wall monitors and for that station I would like the students to have an observer questionnaire. Does anyone have a template that I could use for this student experience? Look forward to collaborating with everyone.
-
That seems great, Leslie. I’ll share Liz Robison’s scenario builder. You can put details of the VR module and request it to build an observer questionnaire. https://chatgpt.com/g/g-67fad635a9e0819187e4b4a752c614cc-healthcare-simulation-scenario-builder
Hope that helps.
-
In addition to Liz Robinson’s scenario builder that Tiffani shared, using the same tool the student is being evaluated with can be given to observers as a self-reflection tool. Adding questions like – How would you do ____ intervention differently? What communication techniques might you use, the same or different? How does my body language…

TacMed Solutions posted an update 3 months ago
IMSH 2026 was a great opportunity to connect and showcase how TacMed is pushing medical simulation forward. Dr. Dan Irizarry, TacMed’s Chief Medical Officer, highlights how our high-fidelity trauma manikins support realistic, whole-patient training—from bleeding control and partial task skills to advanced procedures and prehospital blood…

Although I am not currently instructing in Nursing, we are finishing cardiac modules for Paramedic Students. This is the start of ECG interpretation, in addition to the integration of ACLS and PALS algorithms.

@Carriexx55 That is so fun!!! When I worked at a community college, I was the coordinator of a healthcare sciences division, so I had EMTs, paramedics, LPN, RN, etc. It was so fun running the acute MI sim with nursing and paramedic students. The nursing students had the therapeutic communication and medications down, but the paramedics shined… Read more

@Carriexx55 I would love to hear more about your cardiac modules! I teach ECG interpretation to nursing students and am always looking for new and fun ideas.
