Debriefing as Cognitive Investigation: Denis Oriot on Emotions, Curiosity, and the Physiology of Error
Simulation has plenty of shiny parts: the room setup, the tech, the script, the roles, the timing. But in this conversation between Denis Oriot and Fouad, the real engine of learning isn’t the scenario—it’s what happens right after it. Their core idea is simple and quietly radical: a debrief isn’t a “feedback moment.” It’s aContinue reading "Home"
Simulation Maturity Assessment Tool: a metric for organizational maturity
The Simulation Maturity Assessment Tool (SMAT) is an innovative model for measuring the level of integration of simulation in clinical, organizational, and risk management processes. Based on a structured questionnaire and a six-dimensional analysis, SMAT helps healthcare organizations understand their simulation maturity and guide continuous improvement strategies. A tool for self-assessment and growth, it servesContinue reading "Home"
3 Smart Strategies to Boost Healthcare Simulation Equity Worldwide
Access to high-quality healthcare simulation remains uneven across the globe, often limited by the high cost of equipment and resources. To bridge this gap, educators and simulationists are finding creative, sustainable solutions that make training more affordable and inclusive. By reimagining materials, leveraging donations, and sharing ideas worldwide, the healthcare community can promote equity inContinue reading "Home"
The Art Behind Clinical Simulation: Inside the World of Moulage with Lina Maria Ramírez Palomino
Clinical simulation is often described in terms of manikins, scenarios, crisis resource management, and debriefing. But anyone who has stepped into a high-fidelity simulation room knows that the magic lies in the details—in the small visual cues that make the scenario believable, provoke emotional engagement, and push learners to respond as they would in theContinue reading "Home"

Adult Male Obesity Simulation Suit
A suit to resamble the look and size of an obese patient. Also weight can be added through special pouches inside the suit [e.g. adding sand bags]
Airway management task trainer (head)
Airway management synthetic simulator, popularized due to the manufacturer's decision to release designs for 3D printing of solid manikin components
Arthro Mentor Platform
Interactive simulator, combining computer to create virtual environments for simulating real-world scenarios, and haptic devices to provide haptic feedback, for arthroscopic surgery skills acquisition. It can be equipped with a sinthetic fully articulated knee model [it can be extended/bent and be applied with Varus/Valgus], shoulder model in beach chair and lateral decubitus positions, and hip model in supine and lateral decubitus positions.
Leonardo
Adult patient simulator, designed to give realistic feel when conducting a simulation. It is an excellent and versatile simulator, as well as for its functionality, for its physiognomy and internal conformation (airways in particular).
MegaCode Kelly Advanced
It is a medium-fidelity simulator focused on ALS exercise because it fully complies with the manikin characteristics required by major certifications. The manikin is easy to maintain due to the easy retrieval of parts from the manufacturer's website.
SimShirt™
Wearable suit for auscultation, carotid and radial pulse detection, ECG, all managed wirelessly by software
