AEIs in the News

The recognition of our ACS-AEIs continues to position the consortium as an innovator and leader in the field of simulation-based education and surgical simulation-based training. Please see below for this issue’s contributions from the WISH AEI.

The University of Washington center that is part of the Division of Healthcare Simulation Science recently appeared in Science Daily's Science News. The article, "Innovative surgical simulator is a significant advance in training trauma teams," highlighted the center's Modular Healthcare Simulation and Education System (MoHSES), formerly known as AMM, which is an innovative simulation platform that allows integration of other simulation devices. The Department of Defense (DoD) supported the development and field testing of this platform that was performed by the Center for Research in Education and Simulation Technologies (CREST), WISH's sister organization.

In the June issue of Halldale Group's Military Simulation and Training, an article was published on an American College of Surgeons Division of Education study that found the Department of Defense-commissioned Advanced Modular Manikin (AMM) more realistically simulates trauma scenarios as compared with a standalone simulator that permits performance of isolated tasks.
