Clinical Simulation Center of Las Vegas partners with Medical Simulation Design
In-order to continue to provide tomorrow's healthcare professionals with the highest quality education possible, the Clinical Simulation Center of Las Vegas has entered into a long-term partnership with the leading healthcare simulation experts from Medical Simulation Design. Medical Simulation Design (http://www.MedSimDesign.com) is a leading consultant group in the field of healthcare simulation and founded by Jane Kleinman and Kristy Chambers.
In the past several months, Medical Simulation Design has provided hundreds of hours of training to collaborative groups of faculty from UNLV, NSC and UNSOM. Topics covered included simulation scenario design, program facilitation, learner engagement and debriefing techniques to name a few. By adopting the Medical Simulation Design simulation program, the Clinical Simulation Center of Las Vegas hopes to standardize simulation operations and maximize learner results through advanced facilitation and debriefing practices.

The CSCLV hosted a Leadership Las Vegas event dealing with emergency management of a stroke victim through the use of a state-of-the-art Robot. This device allows a medical professional to communicate directly with a patient from a remote location.
Standardized patient testing has been implemented at the University of Nevada School of Medicine’s Las Vegas campus. The CSCLV hosted the first high-stakes event on December 16, 2010 pulling resources from across the Center as well as staff and faculty from the School of Medicine. Gigi Guizado de Nathan, CSCLV’s Standardized Patient Coordinator, led the event.
Gigi has this to say about the months of planning:
"The first CRIM OSCE in Las Vegas was a proud day. When I first began working here six months ago, there was no standardized patient program. On December 16th, we ran a 5 station, high-stakes exam with the latest technology. It was a bit like going from 0 to 60 mph in a matter of seconds. UNSOM now has the means to augment its emerging new curriculum with rich, realistic role-playing opportunities for its learners in Las Vegas. Students are also relieved of the burden of air travel to and from their exam."
