AV Solutions on a Budget 
This interactive workshop will help administrators and technology specialists define their audio-visual needs and plan for new build-outs, or overhaul existing systems. This workshop will be held twice.

AV Basics:  What's in a Cable?

Learn the basics of making connections in the Sim Center using AV cabling, equipment, supplies and hardware.  Learn how to put it all together without a degree from MIT!

Educational Videos for Under a Grand

If a picture is worth 1000 words, than the average short video clip is worth a million bucks! The video age is upon us. Low-cost, high-quality videos that can effectively enhance learning in the healthcare environment is easily attainable in this day and age. This session will explore commonly available, low-cost equipment to facilitate high-quality educational healthcare videos. There will also be special emphasis on techniques that you can use to ensure a polished finish to your productions.


3D Printing:  Bespoke Simulation - 3D Print Your Patient So You Get it Right the First Living Time!
Faculty will demonstrate how revolutionary 3D printing can be for a budget conscious institution.  Learners will explore one-off model development using radiologic films of patients for complex, high-risk procedures and the often repeated, low-fidelity model replication (skin, trachea holders, etc.)  Finally, learners will explore necessary hardware and software options for setting up a printer, with a focus open-source, self constructed printers.  Functioning printers will be available for hands-on learning.

Moulage Series

Crafty & Creative Techniques on a Budget

Finding new and innovative ways to simulate procedures and clinical situations sometimes requires looking to unconventional sources, such as everyday objects, due to the expensive nature of simulation materials and supplies. This workshop will demonstrate examples of low-fidelity simulation using everyday craft objects.  Learners will create synthetic skin, adipose tissue, blood vessels, striated muscle, and uterine tissue.  All will be used to then create a real, simulated scenario.

Fake it for Real:  Moulage Techniques & Applications

Healthcare simulation is an attempt to recreate realistic patient care encounters.  In an attempt to recreate scenarios that help our learners "suspend disbelief" we are constantly challenged to make the simulators "more real." This course will discuss basic and unique techniques used for moulage (including silicone and commonly available supplies). The session will share the foundation of our magic in transforming our manikins into patients.  This workshop is similar to "Innovative Fidelity" featured at IMSH 2013. 

Going Hollywood:  Moulage Make-up & Techniques

As the professional role of the Simulation Operations Specialist continues to evolve, the need for developing expertise in specific areas, such as moulage, has also increased. What better direction to turn for guidance than the motion picture or theatrical special effects community. This presentation/discussion will address many of the materials, tools, techniques and other resources available through Hollywood special effects suppliers and schools, such as the Stan Winston School of Character arts.
