Students to Participate in Trauma Simulation

WHEN: 7 a.m. to noon
Noon to 5 p.m.
Tuesday (July 29)
WHERE: TTUHSC Simulation Center, 1674 Pine St.
EVENT: The purpose of the interactive trauma day is to promote the Institute of Medicine’s call for interprofessional collaboration and practice in health care.
Faculty with the schools of nursing and pharmacy, led by Ruth Bargainer, MSN, R.N., CNE, assistant professor and regional program director in the School of Nursing at Abilene, will conduct a study called, “Interprofessional Trauma Simulation: A Bridge to Quality Care,” to determine how the interactive trauma simulation promotes interprofessionalism.

yellow and green zones featuring simulated patients of varying acuities, including
heart attack, stroke, asthma, snake bites and pregnancy complications. Students from
all disciplines will work together to ensure positive patient outcomes.
