Olfactory stimuli are rarely used in healthcare-related simulation training. Their addition may improve simulator validity, biographical memory formation and coping mechanisms for exposure to strong malodours. Some military simulators already employ smells in simulation training, and the technology and principles may be used to cross over into medical simulation training. We set out to determine if there is evidence to suggest that smell should be routinely incorporated into medical simulation training. We carried out a systematic review of the literature relating to use of olfactory stimuli in medical simulation training, and identified 5 relevant papers. 3 were experimental studies and 2 were observational studies. The results of the experimental studies were mixed, though there were some indications that the use of a clinically relevant smell instead of a congruent background smell may be more effective. We discuss the benefits of the inclusion of smell in simulation training and identify that there are currently few high-quality studies addressing the use of smell in medical simulation training.

The Air Force Medical Modeling and Simulation Training Program Management Office identified an opportunity to more effectively utilize Air Force funds. The developed process reduces unnecessary purchases and streamlines the procurement and validation of medical simulation training equipment. The two-phase initiative included development of the Simulation Procurement Equipment Requirements Matrix (SimPERM), which compared equipment capabilities with training objectives, and aligning the SimPERM document with the existing equipment tracking mechanism, The Integrated Global Equipment Request System. Post procurement communication with the Biomedical Equipment Technician community was vital to successfully reduce extended warranties. This procurement initiative has enhanced allocation of US$1.1 million in Air Force resources per year by transitioning previous poorly planned purchases to validated Air Force education and training requirements.

Controlling a medical simulation training exercise, especially one that involves an interactive patient simulator, is a demanding job. It requires monitoring, and sometimes intervening in, technical processes and the learner’s cognitive processes. To explore opportunities for better support for the cognitive demands of simulation directors, we conducted a Work Domain Analysis to generate an Abstraction Hierarchy on the area of management of a simulation training exercise. Our results emphasize the complexity involved, including the management of trade-offs between facilitation of learning and maintenance of the learner’s immersion in the scenario. We identify potential methods of cognitive support for managing these trade-offs. Next steps include analysis of control methods.
