Clinical Simulation Experience I

Catalog description

Clinical Simulation Experiences are designed and presented in progression that prepare students for entry into the clinical area. Entering into the operating room for the first time to provide anesthesia services is daunting for both the novice graduate student and the assigned clinical preceptor. Spending time in a simulated OR providing anesthesia to a high-fidelity fully automated mannequin in clinical scenarios facilitates the process of creating experiences without compromising patient safety. The Clinical Simulation Experience courses are designed to provide a progressive and integrative experience that coincides with didactic coursework. This lab assignment introduces the graduate student to the fundamental processes, pharmacology and monitoring associated with the induction of anesthesia. Co-requisite : DNAP 7100.
