Simulation: Reducing the Burden on Clinical Affiliates

From the 2024 Clinical Laboratory Educators Conference (Recorded 2/24/2024)
Presented by Nicole Dutton, PhD, M(ASCP), and Michael Randolph, EdD, RMA(AMT)

Area clinical laboratories have a limited ability to place students for clinical rotations. In this presentation, we describe the development and implementation of a simulation laboratory that replaces nearly 50 percent of the clinical experience, reducing the burden on our clinical affiliates.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:

  • Explain the pros and cons of simulation by evaluating data and evidence.
  • Explore options for the adoption of simulation in your MLT/MLS program by reflecting on how we implemented ours.
  • Create one or more simulation ideas or activities inspired by the simulations that we demonstrate.
