SIM-IA will strategically station each truck in a different geographic area of Iowa (West, Central, and East), in order to provide more timely access to clinical simulation education with less travel for clinical providers. EMS agencies, first responders, and hospitals (including critical access hospitals) will be able to schedule simulation education events in their own communities. This ability will significantly increase the availability and access to clinical simulation education for healthcare providers throughout rural Iowa. While we are in the area, we would love to be able to visit high school health professions or science classes, provide training to local businesses and factories, as well as allow the community to tour our truck and visit with our education staff.
Each truck is equipped with:
Patient simulators
4 high fidelity human patient simulators
1 adult male
1 adult female who can give birth
1 school-aged child
1 newborn infant
Ultrasound education
capabilities for trauma and maternity care
