Why Use Medical Simulation?

Pediatric medical simulation offers a number of benefits to practicing physicians, nurses, first responders, medical students and nursing students - virtually anyone involved in providing health care services.

• Educational Effectiveness - A highly realistic simulation of patient conditions creates an incredibly realistic environment in which to develop teamwork, leadership and communication skills.
• Multi Function Use - The nature of medical simulation allows for a wide range of simulated situations to provide training to a diverse group of health care professionals.
• Practice Rare Scenarios - Because the situation is simulated - like theatre - the PULSE Center staff can create virtually any situation to allow participants to be exposed to a variety of unusual or difficult situations they may face in real life - before they face it in real life.
• Anatomically Realistic - High Fidelity Manikins have realistic anatomical features to allow medical staff to practice making invasive medical procedures in a realistic way.
