Modeling and Simulation News

The Society for Simulation in Healthcare names Syretta Spears as one of the first 25 international recipients of the designation of advanced certified healthcare simulation operations specialist.

The goal is to focus on cyber operations planning, cyber data analytics, modeling and simulation, and emerging technology evaluations among other areas and to rapidly prototype with academia and industry partners.

Having recently earned international accreditation for its nursing simulation program, UCF is a living example of how we can take healthcare from here to the future.

UCF’s nursing simulation program is among more than 100 programs in 10 countries to receive accreditation from the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, which is the world’s largest healthcare simulation accrediting body.

Charles Hughes, the director of UCF’s Synthetic Reality Lab, also served on the committee that formed the Institute of Simulation and Training in 1982.

The team is using high capacity 3D printers to produce face shields and is developing respirator masks in multiple sizes.

Graduate speech therapy students continue to learn and gain experience, thanks to patient simulation software.

Limbitless is 3D printing visors, a component of the disposable face shield used by many medical workers. Each piece has one of four messages: Hope, Love, Compassion or Thank You.

The data generated can be used to not only virtually recreate a structure but also to rebuild it if it’s ever destroyed.
