It’s not enough to believe in simulation
Let’s stop pretending. Simulation isn’t a game anymore. What began as an educational experiment, with computer-enhanced mannequins and enthusiastic pioneers, was long treated as a nice-to-have. Now, it is a must-have. Simulation trains critical thinking, develops psychomotor skills, reveals system flaws, and yes, saves lives! We have evidence of this. The literature is now fullContinue reading "Home"
Navigating the Emotional Landscape of Debriefing
In the nuanced realm of simulation-based education, one critical aspect that continues to spark debate is the role of emotions in debriefing. In particular, the question of whether facilitators should actively engage and manage emotions as they arise during a debriefing is often controversial. Emotions play a significant role in how learners reflect, process, andContinue 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
