In honor of Healthcare Simulation Week, we're sharing a quick breakdown of what exactly medical #simulation is all about. Watch @IanMJulie, medical director for the simulation center, describe how we use simulation to help learners practice vital skills. #HcSimWeek #MedEd

Meet @DrCasteelEM, one of our Simulation and Health Professions Education Fellows! A Missouri native, he enjoys teaching in the #simulation center, playing guitar and skateboarding. This fellowship is offered in partnership with @UCDavisEM and is accredited by @acgme. #MedEd

As we slither into the #YearOfTheSnake, our #simulation team extends warm wishes for health, prosperity and resilience. 🐍 We look forward to welcoming you to the simulation center soon, where innovation and hands-on learning come to life. #meded #LunarNewYear

Meet Neelou Tabatabai, D.O., one of our Simulation and Health Professions Education Fellows! A California native, she enjoys teaching in the #simulation center and skiing in her free time. The fellowship is offered in partnership with @UCDavisEM and is accredited by @acgme.

Today's Neonatal Nurse Practitioner Symposium #Simulation Day was a success! From mastering life-saving techniques to honing critical decision-making skills, neonatal nurse practitioners from @UCDavisChildren are leveling up to provide the best care for our tiniest patients.👶

It’s an exciting day at the #simulation center! The @UCDavisEM hosted its Academic Forum for more than 40 residents, diving into high-stakes simulations such as cricothyrotomy, thoracotomy, neurogenic shock, trauma care and more. Hands-on learning, real-world impact! #MedEd

Happy holidays from the simulation center team!❄️We wish you joy, peace and a season full of warmth and cheer.

It is always a pleasure to host our #anesthesia colleagues in the simulation center! Through dynamic and hands-on #simulation sessions, residents gain the confidence and skills needed to adeptly handle crises. #MedEd Photo credit: UC Davis Health Anesthesiology

We so enjoy having the SHINES students in our #simulation facilities at @UCDavisHealth. It is truly a pleasure to see them interact with our task trainers and mannequins, ultimately learning the basics of becoming a nurse! #MedEd

Check out this story (and video) from @UCDavisMed about high school students visiting the #simulation center. Big shoutout to our simulation specialist Francisco Ramirez for sharing his knowledge and passion with these students. #MedEd

🎉 As we bid farewell to the old and embrace the new, we at the #simulation center extend our heartfelt gratitude to our amazing community of educators and learners for an incredible year of life-changing simulation sessions! May 2024 be just as amazing. 🌟

As we gather with loved ones and embrace the magic of the holidays, we want to extend our warmest wishes to all of you — our incredible simulation community! May your days be merry and bright, filled with laughter, love and the joy of giving. 🎄⭐️🎁

🍁 #HappyThanksgiving We're thankful for our incredible team, for the support of our wonderful faculty and learners, and for the opportunity to contribute positively to our community. 🍂

On this #VeteransDay, we express gratitude to the brave people who have selflessly served our country. Your courage, sacrifice and dedication have shaped our nation. Thank you for defending our freedom.

In recognition of National #Epilepsy Awareness Month, we're highlighting how our #simulation manikins can mimic seizure activity and better prepare our care teams for these neurologic events. #MedEd #nationalepilepsyawarenessmonth

Health care professionals are getting some great training in the #simulation center this week on robotic-assisted surgery with the daVinci® Surgical System! This advanced equipment allows surgeons to perform complex minimally invasive procedures with incredible precision. #MedEd

We're in awe of our Pediatric Transport Team, which brings critically ill infants, children and adolescents to UC Davis Health from distant and rural hospitals. Today, they are practicing various transport scenarios in the #simulation center. #meded #simtribe

And that’s a wrap on another busy week of simulation scenarios! It’s time to stack ‘em, pack ‘em and rack ‘em, quite literally. #MedEd #simulation #medsim #simtribe

We welcomed residents this week for General Surgery Trauma Day, where they practiced a vast array of skills, including mass casualty events, traumatic injury diagnosis and treatment, and REBOA (resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta). #MedEd #medsim #simtribe

We hosted another successful Emergency Medicine Academic Forum with @UCDavisEM in Betty Irene Moore Hall today. Lots of great clinical skills practice and discussions! #meded #simulation #simtribe #medsim #emergencymedicine
