Stepping Into the Shoes of Dementia Patients 🦷💙

Our dental hygiene students recently participated in an eye-opening Dementia Live simulation in the Minka with the USI Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP) to better understand the challenges faced by individuals living with dementia. They experienced what it’s like to cope with cognitive changes, hearing and vision loss, and limited dexterity—helping them build empathy and practical skills for patient care.

Prior to this session, the students learned Teepa Snow's Hand-under-Hand@ technique for toothbrushing, which can make the task feel less overwhelming and more like a collaborative activity.

These future dental professionals are learning that oral health is about more than teeth—it’s about compassion, patience and connection.

Walking in Their Shoes 🦷💙

Our dental hygiene students took part in a powerful Dementia Live simulation with USI GWEP inside the Minka Lab, experiencing what it feels like to live with dementia—cognitive changes, vision and hearing loss, and limited dexterity.

Big thanks to our alumni and partners for supporting hands-on learning!

When our Radiologic and Imaging Sciences program needed additional equipment to enhance MRI simulator training, 2013 alum Aaron Gerling stepped up. Aaron, who works in the MRI department at Deaconess, reached out to his network, and Olaf Roeder, GE Region Modality Leader for MR Imaging, answered the call by bringing the first of what will be several imaging coils to the hospital, where our students had the chance to see it in action.

An MRI coil acts like an antenna, helping the MRI machine capture signals from the body to create detailed images. Until now, our simulator only had a head coil—this donation means students can practice positioning coils for different areas of the body.

📸 Featured: Class of 2026 students accepting the donation at Deaconess, and Class of 2027 students at USI using the coil with the MRI simulator.

Thank you, Aaron and GE Healthcare, for investing in the future of imaging professionals!
