One of the benefits of collaborating in an interprofesional team is the exchange, and the acquisition of knowledge, skills and operational strategies alongside this community. Here, we share an example and an analogy from the medical field: A biomedical engineer, from a simulation center, who has the task of preserving the functionality, integrity and aesthetics of the simulators and the equipment, acquires a role similar to that of a doctor who seeks strategies that focus on maintaining a healthy population. The following is a review of our experience in the Centro de Enseñanza por Simulación de Posgrado (CESIP) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). It should be noted that none of the strategies stated here can be considered as a reference “of excellence” for the operation of a simulation center, due to the great number of particularities in each of them. Finally, we are convinced that sharing our experience may be useful for other centers, especially due to the lack of information available. Keywords: Simulators, maintenance, biomedical,conservation.

This article is devoted to the organization of the work of the Accreditation and Simulation Center of the Institute of Medical Education of the Almazov National Medical Research Centre during the primary specialized accreditation in the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizational solutions, technological processes and routing of accredited (308 people), support and technical personnel (98 people) and employees of the Accreditation and Simulation Center (14 people) and members of accreditation commissions (67 people) are presented to ensure infectious safety and the effectiveness of the face-to-face practice-oriented stage of accreditation.

Introduction: Acute “stroke codes” are stressful for the new neurology resident who must lead a multi-disciplinary team and quickly integrate information to make high risk time-sensitive decisions. While other disciplines have used simulation technology for years for cardiac arrest codes, neurology has just begun utilizing this resource. Objective: To improve neurology trainees’ execution of a multi-disciplinary acute stroke code using simulation experience Methods: We identified three learning objectives for the simulation experience: assess tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) eligibility, utilize appropriate order sets, and communicate effectively. Scripts for two emergent scenarios were developed: ischemic stroke requiring i.v. tPA and warfarin-associated intracranial hemorrhage requiring coagulopathy reversal. A standardized patient (SP) was trained. Neurology residents in their first week of training were the learners. Six residents attended a four-hour training session in the Simulation Center at Stanford University. Half of the trainees participated in the scenario while the others observed through live video. The SP acted the part in a fully-equipped, mock emergency room. Monitors, controlled remotely, displayed vital signs which changed to reflect interventions performed. Screens also displayed radiologic data. Trainees communicated with the stroke fellow and nursing regarding the plan of care and placed orders through an electronic medical record in training mode. Debriefing occurred after each scenario. Evaluations were completed and collected. Results: Trainees had positive experiences and felt more comfortable with the stroke code after the training. On a 1-5 scale, learners rated quality of teaching (average 4.6); learning from the scenario (4.8); overall organization (4.2); facilities (5); and overall evaluation (4.6). Conclusions: Simulation training offers a valuable opportunity to enhance neurology resident’s comfort in running stroke codes. Additional studies are required to measure long-term retention of acquired skills and training effect on systems and clinical outcomes.

The purpose of this chapter is to describe the benefits and challenges associated with creating an interdisciplinary simulation center for eight allied health programs (athletic training, medical laboratory technician, nursing, occupational therapy assistant, paramedic technology, pharmacy technician, radiography, and respiratory therapy) at a two-year college. Planning, securing resources, developing and implementing curricula, training faculty, orienting students, preliminary survey data, and plans for sustainability will be shared.
