Simulation Overview
Healthcare simulation spans a wide variety of formats, from the low-tech actor portraying a standardized patient to high fidelity mannequin-based human patient simulators (HPS). The Department of Emergency Medicine has been a pioneer in simulation at Wayne State University . With access to two adult and one infant simulator, residents and students are able to practice state of the art medical care in a realistic, safe environment with real time feedback. Even at the intern level, residents are able to perform difficult procedures and lead complex patient resuscitations.
Our department's involvement in simulation involves a strong research interest. Residents and faculty are encouraged to see simulation as a strong educational research tool and involvement in new and ongoing research projects is encouraged.
