Overcoming the Tyranny of Distance Through Simulation-Based Training
In 1966, historian Geoffrey Blainey published The Tyranny of Distance, a book examining how geographic isolation from Britain and the rest of the world shaped Australian history and identity. In the decades since, military strategists have adopted the phrase as shorthand for the way distance degrades logistics, communication, and response times. The tyranny of distance […]
Preparing for the Unexpected with Disaster Preparedness Training and EMS Simulation
While medical training often provides those preparing to be first responders with classroom-based instruction or basic mannequin training, those types of training methods cannot prepare these individuals for the unpredictable, high-pressure situations they’ll encounter in the real-world. High-fidelity simulators are designed to replicate the behaviors of real patients, including bleeding and breathing, and in doing […]
The Importance of Healthcare and Medical Simulation in Underserved Communities
Today, many demographics around the world have little to no access to adequate medical care. A particularly important example of this inadequacy lies in rural American cities. Individuals living in rural areas have far too little access to proper medical training, equipment, and care. This issue is mainly the result of the worsening healthcare infrastructure […]
