Afterward, participants and presenters engaged in an open-ended discussion about issues that arose. RAPID FIRE POSTER SESSION Digital Clinical Experiences Rob Kade and Benjamin Lok of Shadow Health Inc., talked about their program that simulates a clinical experience in order to allow students to learn communication skills and clinical reasoning.

vSim for Nursing vSim for Nursing is a computer simulation that focuses on clinical reasoning, critical thinking, competence, and building the confidence of nurses in training, said Jeanie Staton and Robin McCune. vSim allows students to interact with patients in a safe, realistic environment through various online nursing scenarios, and it allows learners to "make mistakes here in FIGURE 5-1 Clinical experience simulation patient "Tina."

Rather than using virtual patients, ReelDx uses videos of real patient experiences in clinical and preclinical settings, primary and acute care (e.g., paramedic interactions, emergency rooms, or physician practice)

This included understanding trauma care while demonstrating an ability to perform adeptly during emergency situations. To accomplish this, Parodi described developing an educational, game-based program that would not be an administrative burden to the trainer who is frequently faced with inadequate staffing.

; users can train on the app to learn about various instruments and to practice procedures step by step. Robert said that nurses learning with PeriopSim show the same outcomes as nurses learning in real life, but PeriopSim is more time efficient and uses fewer resources.

The simulation lab at EVMS continues to refine and advance this type of application, and it is exploring the potential of augmented reality. DISCUSSION Referencing Jeffries's opening talk at the workshop, Mary Beth Mancini, a forum member with the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, brought up several big challenges in health professions education, and asked the innovators if and how their technologies might help address these problems.

vSim allows instructors to monitor student progress and focus attention on the critical skills and steps that the student is not performing well, she said. Mastery Miller stated that health professions education needs to "promote and push this concept of mastery learning as the model." In the early stages of learning, mastery may not be an appropriate model, but by the time a student is set to enter clinical practice, he or she needs to have mastered the needed skills.

Robert followed Miller's comment with information about emerging tools to track a person's online behavior or text messages to detect patterns that suggest a risk of suicide. Miller responded that there is another effort under way to use virtual providers for counseling.
