Tulane Center for Advanced Medical Simulation & Team Training

The second day of my conference was spent at the recently opened Tulane Center for Advanced Medical Simulation and Team Training. Beyond using their space to host our meetings, we were taken on a tour of the facilities and we got to see a simulation make use of one of the ERs.
The place was really cool, audio and video was wired in every room, so that students or residents could record and playback different medical scenarios that they participate in. The floor had a master control room, which monitored each room and controlled some of the very fancy and expensive human patient simulators.
I could go on and on about all the fancy equipment and human patient simulators that cost as much as a house but I won’t. I just know that this place was state of the art and you’d be fortunate to train there, or to be worked on by someone who was trained there.
