SimMan® 3G
makes his grand "opening" at the Baltimore SUN
Over 150 Simulation Users Networked in Baltimore, Maryland at the inaugural SUN event for
2009. Customers from hospitals, universities
and EMS agencies joined together with over 20 industry leading speakers and
panelists. Over 70% of the
attendees were new to the SUN network with a great mix of beginners and
experienced simulation customers.
Hands-on sessions run by the Laerdal Education Services team
mixed with presentations and networking opportunities had participants engaged
for 2 ½ days. The SUN agenda was developed based on feedback from the 2008
SUNs. After a ½ day pre-conference
of scenario programming for VitalSim, the day 1 tracks were designed to address
varied skill groups based on the simulation adoption curve. Day 2 tracks were designed to
specifically support users within their healthcare settings. These sessions are lead by leaders from
Nursing Schools, pre-hospital, and in-hospital participants and coupled with
more hands-on activities. Check
out the full agenda at www.laerdal.com/SUN. The highlight of the conference was
a very active megacode run by MedStar Heath starring SimMan3G whose chest was cracked open to restart his heart. See the
video.
