Your simulation center needs an accurate, dependable, and secure way to collect, manage, and report data. Whether you need this data for courses, research projects, or quality improvement efforts, the extensive data capturing and reporting functionality of SIMS is quick and easy to use.?SIMS is also a great way to document your center's utilization, illustrating your efficiency and value to stakeholders and your parent organization!?From small centers running a handful of courses, to large centers spread across multiple locations with a full course catalogue, data collection?and reporting illustrates the importance of your simulation program.?To learn more about how SIMS can support your center, email us at [email protected]!?

Pediatric emergencies are some of the most demanding situations in healthcare, requiring teams to be ready for anything at a moment's notice. By recreating high-stakes scenarios surrounding the youngest population of patients, simulation-based training helps clinicians practice critical skills, like rapid assessment, clear communication, team coordination, and crisis resource management, until they become second nature. By utilizing simulation-based training that focuses on the rescue of deteriorating pediatric patients, providers have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to deliver the highest level in critical situations.

Learn from experts in the field of healthcare and simulation by applying to WISER's SSH accredited Fellowship and Visiting Scholars Program! With a highly customizable, flexible curriculum that can be tailored to fit a variety of timeframes, individuals work alongside our leadership team to engage in meaningful research, experience the day-to-day operations of a long-standing simulation and research facility, and create simulation-based healthcare training programs that improve patient care outcomes! Applicants who are accepted into our Fellowship Program have the unique opportunity to develop their own objectives to determine their interested area of study and can utilize the resources offered by both the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC to accomplish their goals!

We're excited to share that the renovations to our simulation space at UPMC St. Margaret's School of Nursing have just wrapped up! This updated space ensures our simulation operations specialists can offer even better support when delivering simulation-based healthcare training programs. We hope the instructors, educators, and facilitators that utilize this newly renovated space are just as excited as we are to deliver an exceptional learning experience to all the nursing students at St. Margaret's SON! #wiser #wisersimulation #medicaleducation #medicalsimulation #HealthcareSimulation #schoolofnursing #SimulationBasedLearning #stmargarets

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Jared W. Henrickson - Professor in the Division of Critical Care, Department of Pediatrics at the University of Utah Health, and Simulation Consortium Medical Director at Intermountain Health - will be one of our featured speakers at this year's Safar Symposium! With a passion for utilizing simulation to promote patient safety, high reliability, and psychological well-being in clinical settings, Dr. Henricksen's work perfectly illustrates this year's theme of transforming pediatric care via healthcare simulation. The Safar Symposium is a unique opportunity for simulationists, educators, and professional providers to come together and share how simulation-based healthcare training and research can be used to improve patient care outcomes across the entire health system. Join Dr. Henricksen and other experts on May 16th to learn how simulation can support and improve care in the pediatric population! #wiser #wisersimulation #medicaleducation #medicalsimulation #HealthcareSimulation #SimulationBasedLearning #simulationtraining #pediatrics #PediatricCare

Do you want to incorporate simulation-based training into your healthcare curriculum, but don't know where to start? Are you a healthcare educator looking to advance their skills in leading simulation-based training programs? WISER's Improving Simulation Instructional Methods (iSIM) course is for you! This two-day, hands-on, participant led program is an amazing opportunity for educators and other healthcare professionals to learn best practices for developing and deploying simulation-based training programs. From scenario design and assessment creation to facilitation and debriefing techniques, iSIM provides all the foundational knowledge needed to ensure participants excel in implementing high quality simulation-based healthcare training across all learner levels including students and practicing professionals. Register today for our June 11th-12th iSIM course! https://lnkd.in/gX7pCjY6 #wiser #wisersimulation #HealthcareSimulation #MedicalEducation #medicalsimulation #SimulationBasedLearning #simulationtraining #isim

Did you know that WISER was one of the first Simulation Centers certified in all five domains by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare? Our history with SSH includes a former SSH President (our Director, Paul Phrampus), current Fellows and current Treasurer (our Associate Director, John O’Donnell). #wiser #wisersimulation #medicaleducation #medicalsimulation #HealthcareSimulation #SimulationBasedLearning Society for Simulation in Healthcare #SSH

Earlier this year, we had the wonderful opportunity to teach our Radiology Contrast Reaction course at UPMC Chautauqua in New York! Designed for radiology attendings, residents, nurses, and technologists, this course teaches healthcare professionals how to manage critical situations and complications that arise in a radiology context. Through a blended learning model paired with online didactics, this onsite training is offered across the health system to support and improve the delivery of care to deteriorating radiology patients! To find out when the next Radiology Contrast Reaction course is coming to your hospital, check out our calendar or course catalogue! https://lnkd.in/ggd4Aw_z #wiser #wisersimulation #medicaleducation #medicalsimulation #HealthcareSimulation #SimulationBasedLearning #radiology #RadCon #radiologycontrast #attending #nurse #healthcareprofessionals #onlinedidactics

Join WISER's IT Director, John Lutz, for our newest video outlining the innovative audio visual (AV) technology available at our recently opened satellite center, WISER at Scaife! In this video, John tours our cutting-edge ultrasound lab, a versatile space that supports independent and group led labs bolstered by a fully integrated curriculum and AV system. With 10 individual stations readily equipped for various ultrasound and suturing procedural trainings, and display monitors that are easily controlled via a Crestron panel, learners get to practice their skills in a highly immersive environment!
