📣 When students are away… the staff at sim will definitely play! 😄

We got some exciting new simulation equipment in today thanks to our Tech Plan requests and approvals. We couldn’t wait to check it all out! From realistic wound moulage to some seriously dramatic lower extremity DVT pathology for our OB manikins, we had a blast exploring all the new additions to our training arsenal.

Always learning. Always laughing. Always ready to make simulation unforgettable! 💉🩹🦵

Our EMT students showed up and showed out last night during an evening packed full of scenario and skills based training. From trauma care to patient transport, they worked together in our simulation ambulance and apartment setup to sharpen their skills and boost their confidence.

We’re proud of the teamwork, critical thinking, and professionalism these students brought to each challenge. They’re not just learning—they’re preparing to save lives. 💪👏

Great work, team! 💙
