11th Annual William Davidson 医疗 教育 Week at OUWB is underway and kicked off Monday with several sessions, 包括参观玛西亚号 & Eugene Applebaum Simulation Learning Institute.

The session is one of nearly 30 scheduled throughout the week with hundreds of people expected to attend either virtually or in person. (To view a full schedule and/or register for sessions, click 在这里.)

Other sessions include the William Davidson Lecture featuring Duane Mezwa, M.D., Stephan Sharf Dean, OUWB,(上午7:30.m., Wednesday), a day (Thursday) dedicated entirely to research.

Including a hands-on tour of the Applebaum Simulation Learning Institute (SLI) at Beaumont Hospital, 皇家橡树, on the first day of medical education week, 是有意义的, 凯瑟琳·齐格勒说, M.D.,执行董事. Ziegler is also an assistant professor in the Department of Surgery.

“We need to address the gap in the awareness of the resources available to preclinical and clinical faculty at the Applebaum Simulation Learning Institute,”她说。. “We (also) aim to foster an increased interest in simulation education, increase exposure to multiple clinical disciplines, increase interdisciplinary simulation, 这可以改善沟通, 减少了错误的发生, 改善病人的治疗效果.”

Beaumont resident Kojo Asantey (OUWB, '20) led a training session on delivering a baby through use of one of the SLI's training mannequins. 

Ziegler also noted that SLI officials hope to strengthen the relationship between OUWB and the lab by  encouraging multi-disciplinary simulation, creating a hub for simulation-based educational activities.

The SLI is accredited as a Level 1 Comprehensive 教育 Institute from the American College of Surgeons (ACS). A Level 1 accreditation is the highest level of accreditation, as of today the SLI is one of 19 ACS-AEI (Accredited 教育 Institutes) accredited fellowship programs.

As part of the 2022 医疗 教育 Week session, SLI有四个站点, each with a different type of simulation.

The “sim man” station featured a training mannequin programmed to present shortness of breath. Attendees had to assess the patient based on information provided and the programmed actions of the training mannequin.

在整形外科站, it was demonstrated how to put in metal rods with screws onto a forearm bone. A third station was focused on proper technique for insertion of breathing tubes. The last station featured OB-GYN-related treatments.

Varna Taranikanti博士.D., 副教授, Department 基础医学研究, was among those who toured SLI.

“I want to know more about how we can incorporate (the SLI) into the preclinical education,她说。. “How we can utilize (the SLI) … is incredible.”

The session also included discussion about the surgical simulation fellowship started and led by Nathan Novotny, M.D., assistant professor, Departments of Surgery and Pediatrics, Ngan Nguyen, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department 基础医学研究 and Department of Surgery.

The program is only the 20th in the U.S. 获得ACS-AEI认证. The fellowship experience is tailored to the individual fellow, the core curriculum is completed over one year of study.

The team already is preparing for its second fellow.

Nguyen and Novotny feel it is important to talk about the fellowship to as many people as possible.

“It’s important for further underscoring our safe care and it highlights the emphasis on simulation,诺沃特尼说. “We practice 在这里 first and then bring our A-game to the field.”

“We want people to know that the fellowship is well-structured and accredited,” Nguyen added.
