Medical Education Department Wins CAE Healthcare Video Award
Medical Education Dept. with Burn Simulator
NSU’s College of Osteopathic Medicine was recently awarded the Strategic Team Award and Recognition (“STAR”) accolade during the American Osteopathic Association’s House of Delegates Meeting in Chicago, Illinois. The recognition is bestowed upon affiliate organizations that make significant contributions to advancing the profession-wide objectives identified in the AOA Strategic Plan.
The department created the video and submitted it to CAE Healthcare, the manufacturer of NSU-COM’s high-fidelity mannequins. The film included techniques for removing ink stains from mannequins and competed in a contest at CAE Healthcare’s HPSN Annual World Conference.
The video is based on the September 2012 simulation experience in which second-year NSU-COM students spent a week in the Simulation Clinic working with faculty members on simulated severe burn victims—part of the integumentary course that focuses on the bodily system consisting of the skin and its associated structures such as hair, nails, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands.
“Congratulations on a job well done and thanks to every member of the medical education team for making this project successful,” said Marti Echols, Ph.D., assistant professor of internal medicine and assistant dean of medical education.
