Friday, September 23 11:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Validate and refine advanced practice techniques/skills in a wide range of medical procedures/situations. Challenge and sharpen your critical decision making skills in a safe realistic clinical environment.
The USF Health Simulation Center at Tampa General Hospital and Team Education and Multidisciplinary Simulation (TEAMS) Center, gives healthcare providers the opportunity to practice, hone and retool clinical skills, and to develop behavioral and teamwork skills needed for real-life patient encounters. It allows for hands-on training of individuals or entire teams utilizing state-of-the-art equipment. Simulation can help develop precision and skills, as well as, enhance critical thinking and decision making capabilities directed toward improving patient care and achieving better outcomes in a safe, realistic clinical environment.
Created specifically for the advanced practice registered nurse, this is a unique opportunity to learn and validate your clinical expertise in a simulated environment for the following:
- Simulation TEAM trauma training
· Participate in a team-approach simulation training related to the adult and pediatric trauma patient.
· Identify the roles for the trauma team members and the benefits of a team approach in order to achieve effective, high stakes communication skills.
· Evaluate individual skills and competencies for ED procedures in a safe, simulated environment.
- Chest tube insertion
· Recognize the need for a chest tube and insert a chest tube in a simulated patient.
· Assess the patient post-insertion for complications related to chest tube insertion.
· Discuss chest tube placement in the pregnant patient.
- Lumbar puncture
· Describe the key steps associated with lumbar puncture in a pediatric and adult patient.
· Assist in the performance of a lumbar puncture in a pediatric and adult simulated patient.
- Central line insertion
· Identify the risks and benefits for the insertion of a central venous catheter.
· Discuss and assist with central venous catheter placements.
- FAST Exam
· Determine the need to perform a FAST exam.
· Recognize the anatomical landmarks associated with a FAST exam.
· Perform a FAST exam in a simulated environment and identify abnormal findings.
6. Interpreation of challenging 12-lead EKG and X-ray findings . Compete with your colleagues using the ARS (Audience Response System)
· Interpret cardiac arrhythmias commonly seen in the ED and the impact on cardiac output.
· Diagnose pulmonary pathologies commonly seen in the ED by interpreting chest radiographs.

Information about the Simulations Centers:
USF Health Simulation Center
The USF Health Simulation Center at Tampa General Hospital is a multi-disciplinary simulation center. It allows for hands-on training of individuals or entire teams utilizing state-of-the-art equipment. Simulation can help develop precision and skills, as well as, enhance critical thinking and decision making capabilities. Simulation-based education helps to increase the confidence and competence of healthcare professionals in all roles and specialties.
An increase in competence and mastery of skills ultimately leads to more positive patient outcomes and an increase in patient safety. Using simulation-based training, healthcare professionals can learn procedures and the devices associated with such procedures, in a risk-free, simulated environment. Simulation allows healthcare professionals to become advanced in their skills and practice using simulation reduces errors, improves patient outcomes, and ultimately delivers more cost-effective care.
TEAMS Center USF Health
Team Education and Multidisciplinary Simulation (TEAMS) Center gives healthcare providers the opportunity to practice, hone and retool clinical skills, and to develop behavioral and teamwork skills needed for real-life patient encounters. Optimally, these skills are learned under realistic conditions that do not pose any risk to patients. The combination of simulation to improve clinical skills and team training to enhance behavioral skills optimizes the performance of medical team members, leading to better patient outcomes.
The TEAMS Center provides simulation and team training to a wide range of providers including physicians, nurses, physician assistants, respiratory therapists and nursing technicians. The TEAMS center is currently training healthcare professionals in emergency medicine, internal medicine, neonatology, obstetrics, and pediatrics.
