Immersive distance simulation: Exploring the educational impact of stereoscopic extended reality (XR) video in remote learning environments.

There is a growing need for healthcare simulation options when local expertise or resources are not available. To connect instructors with remote learners, current options for distance simulation are typically limited to videoconferencing on desktop computers or mobile devices, which may not fully capture the complexity of clinical scenarios.Extended reality (XR) technology may provide a more immersive and realistic distance healthcare simulation experience compared to traditional videoconferencing options.

Comparing Capabilities of Simulation Modalities for Training Combat Casualty Care: Perspectives of Combat Medics.

Introduction: Combat casualty care requires learning a complex set of skills to treat patients in challenging situations, including resource scarce environments, multiple casualty incidents, and care under fire. To train the skills needed to respond efficiently and appropriately to these diverse conditions, instructors employ a wide array of simulation modalities. Simulation modalities for medical training include manikins, task trainers, standardized patient actors (i.

Advanced Trauma Life Support Course Delivery: Comparison of Outcomes From Modifications During Covid-19.

Introduction The Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) Course is a two-day long medical training course developed by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) to help train and prepare healthcare providers to care for severely injured patients. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in the modification or cancellation of many education programs across the world. At the University of South Florida's Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation (CAMLS) two different models of ATLS were delivered in response to the COVID-19 pandemic with both models utilizing the ACS's online mobile ATLS (mATLS).

The value of psychometric analysis of the advanced trauma life support cognitive test: Outcome of an ACS-Accredited educational institute multisite study.

Background: The Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) course provides a standard approach to trauma. Participants must pass the ATLS post-test. We deployed the test online to allow ongoing psychometric item analysis and potential objective refinement.

Perceptions of Simulator- and Live Tissue-Based Combat Casualty Care Training of Senior Special Operations Medics.

The relative effectiveness of live tissue (LT)- and inanimate simulation (SIM)-based training of combat medics is the subject of intense debate. A structured interview was utilized to determine the training modality preferences and the perceived value of LT- and SIM-based combat casualty care training of 25 senior special operations medics. Participant demographics and training experience, Likert scale-based assessment of training modality value, selection of preferred training modality for 11 combat casualty care procedures, and 12 open-ended questions probing opinions of the limitations and benefits of LT- and SIM-based training were collected from this convenience sample.
