UNMC and Nebraska Medicine faculty, staff and students are invited to an open house July 11-12 to evaluate the latest in simulation technology under consideration for the Dr. Edwin G. & Dorothy Balbach Davis Global Center, which will house iEXCEL.
Attendees may stop by the Truhlsen Event Center, located on the first floor of the Sorrell Center, anytime between 2 and 6 p.m. on July 11 and between 7 and 11:30 a.m. on July 12 to try the simulation models and provide feedback related to their relevance for training, usability and realism.
The open house will feature hands-on demonstrations of the latest in surgical and interventional simulation technology from such vendors as CAE Healthcare, VirtaMed, Operative Experience, 3D Systems and The Chamberlain Group.
Attendees will see some of the most advanced simulators that use virtual reality, haptics and real patient cases to provide learners immersive training opportunities across a variety of procedures including arthroscopy, laparoscopy, endoscopy and bronchoscopy.
Robotic surgery trainers allow learners of all experience levels to explore diverse medical specialties through comprehensive, all-in-one systems, while trauma and cardiac simulators allow for more specific surgical scenario practice. Innovative, new ultrasound simulators will be on display that are adaptable to an array of diverse applications including cardiac, lung, abdominal and OB/GYN scenarios.
