Advanced simulation technology is giving medical students lifelike, hands-on experience before they ever treat a real patient
About this episode
Louisiana’s medical and nursing schools are increasingly turning to advanced simulation technology to train the next generation of healthcare workers amid ongoing staffing shortages. Schools including LSU Health, Tulane, Delgado, and Ochsner are using lifelike, high-tech mannequins that can breathe, talk, blink, and simulate medical emergencies, giving students realistic hands-on experience before they treat real patients. Jennifer Calzada, who leads the Tulane Center for Advanced Medical Simulation & Team Training, joins Newell to talk about it.
