Simulation Training
Guided by skilled professional staff and instructors, students participate in simulations specifically designed to enhance the development of clinical judgment and critical thinking abilities. Rather than just hearing and reading about difficult or unusual patient cases, students experience them by treating high fidelity patient simulators, patient actors, or virtual patients in scenarios that mimic real-life clinical practice.
Debriefings with other students and faculty after each simulation experience provide the opportunity to reflect on the challenges students encountered. During the debriefing process, students may view digital recordings of the simulations to assess team and individual performance. These experiences help students develop superior clinical competence and confidence.
The Interprofessional Simulation and Innovation Center at SWAG视频 is unique among simulator training programs in Northern New England due to its focus on interprofessional training, which provides an effective tool for not only building clinical skills but for developing teamwork, fostering communication and high standards of safe patient care.
