Michener & Simulation in the News

Hi Everyone,

While it is hard to sometimes keep up-to-date, I thought I would post a few excerpts from the latest Michener News Magazine. Being supportive of the upcoming students, to me, also means being aware of the advancements taking place at the institution from which they come. So here are a few tidbits.

"Michener was well represented at the Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE) Annual Conference , August 29-September 2, 2009, Malaga, Spain. Dr. Paul Gamble, President and CEO; Dr. Karim Bandali; Associate Vice President, Business Development; and Brad Niblett, Chief Information Officer delivered two presentations. The first was titled "A Revolutionary Alliance Between Aviation and Medical Simulation: Working Towards Creating an International Standard in Health Simulation", K. S. Bandali, G Herve, P. Gamble, and A Ziv. The second was "Politics Meets Medicine:Electronic Magic Board Revolutionizes Healthcare Education", B. Niblett, J. Robertson, P. Gamble, J. Verbovszky and K Bandali.

.... Dr K. Bandali, Associate Vice President, Business Devleopment and Chair, Cardiovascular Perfusion, was invited to speak at a few conferences over the last months. At the International Consortium for Evidence Based Perfusion, held in New Orleans, Louisiana,  June 24-27, 2009 Karim gave two presentations titled "Using Simulation-Based Education for Incident Prevention" and "Simulation-Based Education and Continuous Improvement Process." AmSECT's Perfusion Safety/Best Practices 2009 Meeting marks a unique union in perfusion that combines the evolution of perfusion safety through simulation training and the translation of the evidence surrounding perfusion to the clinician. He also spoke at a special meeting at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, N.Y., in the spring of 2009; his talk focused on "Inspiring Innovation and Collaboration Through Healthcare Simulation".
