About M&D SIM
In the simulation, a realistic dummy is used to imitate various medical scenarios. The simulation can also be filmed which will give students thorough, accurate feedback on their performance. At the end of the day there is a de-briefing session for students to get feedback, and reflect on what they learned throughout the day.
Each student is also presented with a certificate on completion.
The overall goal of simulation training is to practice skills in a realistic setting, to improve communication skills, conflict resolution and professional decision-making in a team and individually. All the training is experiential and activity based.
This method of training has become an increasingly popular way to train medical professionals in a range of areas, which is why it will be an invaluable experience for all potential Medics.
