The presentation represents a milestone in simulation education, asmultiple simulators are incorporated to deliver a comprehensive trainingexperience. The simulated scenario will follow a patient suffering from anacute myocardial infarction (AMI) from the onset of symptoms and through theEMS and ER process of care using a human patient simulator. The patient willthen be transferred to the cath lab for a cardiovascular intervention usingMSC's endovascular simulator.

"By incorporating the complete process of care, this scenario willhighlight the complexities surrounding the treatment of a cardiac patient fromthe onset of symptoms to the cath lab," says Mark A. Turco, MD, FACC, FSCAI,Director of the Center for Cardiac & Vascular Research at Washington AdventistHospital in Takoma Park, Maryland. "A primary initiative in improving care ofAMI patients is finding ways to speed the door-to-cath lab time with theoverall goal of saving more heart muscle. Simulation training provides theideal platform to address these challenges in a realistic environment."
"MSC is proud to continue to deliver more advanced simulation trainingopportunities to healthcare providers," says Bill Younkes, MSC President. "Aswe move closer to simulating the entire process of care, education empoweredby simulation can have a greater impact on improving patient outcomes andsafety."
