Abstract:
Utilizing Standardized Patients in simulation for wound care is the future of teaching learners an empathetic approach to wound care. Through understanding the fundamentals of building an effective Standardized Patient, institutions will be able to pair their patients with the highest fidelity wearables, offering their learners the most true-to-life simulation. In regard to wound care, the Avwound is the newest advancement to human-based simulation, in which your learners will walk away ready to transition from academic to giving compassionate bedside care.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the need to bridge the preparation/practice gap in wound care management.
- Provide an insight into the future of wound care simulation.
- Learn how to best prepare learners to give patient-centered care when it comes to wound care.
