Abstract:
Med Sim Studio is an open access free software resource for healthcare simulation educators including immediate access to a comprehensive suite of medical visual stimuli, automated documentation and data collection, cases pre-loaded with the relevant background information and images, and the ability to customize and share cases instantly. The software platform is highly mobile and may be used in various teaching scenarios. Educators may teach in hospitals or clinics, ambulances, outdoors, or from their home computer via remote learning platforms.
Med Sim Studio allows educators to propagate their own scholarship through case sharing functionality. These can be transferred online (via the embedded database functionality or through email attachments), or via portable media (such as USB drive or optical disk). The case-sharing aspect of Med Sim Studio simplifies the process for simulation educators to contribute novel cases and promote the community of medical education.
