Take the first step in your education.
Our graduate students encounter standardized patients via a Telehealth (Video Visit). This recent expansion – 2 years ago – addressed the needs of our graduate students who are immersed in rural clinical setting and not able to return to campus for a traditional OSCE.
Now more than ever this has proven to be an essential platform for our students’ education. We already perfected the Telehealth (Video Visit) platform prior to the COVID pandemic and required social distancing.
We use the Simulation IQ system to provide our students with virtual rooms for telemedicine, telehealth encounters and standardized patient visits. These rooms simulate the patient experience for our nursing students – teaching them to care for patients virtually.
It's one thing to have someone tell you how to handle a situation. It's another thing to learn about it first-hand. Thanks to new technology, UNM nursing students now have more chances to learn from life-like simulations.
Objective Structured Clinical Evaluations - OSCEs - are a teaching tool that have been used for decades to provide students with real-life scenarios that build the clinical competencies they will need throughout their careers.
