Agenda

8:00am - 4:00pm SIM - Hands on Trauma Skills Training (Hourly Training Sessions)

Medical simulation allows the acquisition of clinical skills through deliberate practice rather than an apprentice style of learning. Simulation tools serve as an alternative to real patients. A trainee can make mistakes and learn from them without the fear of harming the patient during a simulated encounter.

Presenter – Brian Rechkemmer, University of Iowa College of Nursing – SIM-Iowa
