POLICY REGARDING THE HIRING OF PEDIATRIC STANDARDIZED PATIENTS

Recognizing that simulation represents a paradigm shift in health care education, SSH promotes improvements in simulation technology, educational methods, practitioner assessment, and patient safety that promote better patient care and can improve patient outcome.

Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH)

ASPE is the international organization for professionals in the field of simulated and standardized patient methodology.

Association of Standardized Patient Educators (ASPE)

The mission for the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) is to promote research and disseminate evidence based practice standards for clinical simulation methodologies and learning environments.

Image Perspectives

Smooth-On has a product called Skin-tite that you can mix and apply right on human, and manikin, skin without staining, and it will stay on until you take it off. No accidental removal from manipulating your manikin or from a SP sweating. 

Smooth-On: Silicone Moulage

• Standardized Patients (SPs) portray patients with many different conditions and emotional states in both inpatient and outpatient simulated settings.
• SP events offer students the opportunity to practice communication and physical assessment skills in a safe environment.
• The SP program recruits and employs children from 15 days to 17 years old to provide students with pediatric learning experiences

• Fourteen high fidelity patient simulators that vary in age, ethnicity, and function.
• Full body patient simulators functions include:
  • Airway management
  • Trauma responses
  • Heart, lung, and bowel sounds
• CAE Lucina (below) is a maternal/fetal training birthing simulator.

• Nineteen medium and several low fidelity patient simulators that vary in age, ethnicity, and
• function.
• Some full body medium fidelity patient simulators functions include:
  • Pulses
  • Heart, lung, and bowel sounds
• Ideal for head to toe assessments.

• Combination of different Simulation Center resources:
  • Clinical Skills
  • Labs
  • Patient Simulators
  • Standardized Patients
• A variety of options based on learning objectives and faculty needs.
• Coordination with the Sim Team to help plan will ensure a successful event.

• Models of human anatomy to practice specific skills focusing on a specific task or procedure.
• Task trainers can be used in labs or used to enhance patient simulator or standardized patient scenarios creating a hybrid simulation.
• A few of the task trainers available:
  • Airway management
  • IV arms
  • Wound care
  • NG tube placement
  • Pelvic examination

• Students are immersed in any simulation environment.
• Fully interactive with images, videos, and content relevant to the scenario.
• Examples of current immersive environments:
  • Pre Hospital Emergencies
  • Multiple Hospital Departments
  • Home Environment
  • Public Spaces
  • Outdoor Regions
• Visit https://immersive.co.uk/ for more information.

• Students work through scenarios in the Simulation Center spaces.
• Working in person allows students to learn new skills in a safe environment with immediate faculty feedback.
• Useful for a variety of simulation needs:
  • Hands on labs
  • Skills drills
  • Simulations that require hands on with manikins
  • Simulations that require in person sessions with standardized patients

CAE Telemedicine

• Students can interact remotely with Standardized Patients using CAE Telemedicine.
• Participants can work completely remote, or students can use the Sim Center equipment to communicate with Standardized Patients working remotely.
• Observers and faculty can watch through CAE LearningSpace.
• The view for all participants shows the Standardized Patient and student interacting with the Standardized Patient.

We are always looking for ways to grow in support of each academic program. 

If you have a scenario that you would like to bring to the Simulation Center that does not fit any of the formats outlined, we can work together to find the best solution.
