Introduction to the University Hospital Simulation-Based Education Platform

Learning Medical Practice Through Simulation: “Never Try It on a Patient for the First Time”—The Example of SimHU Nîmes, a university-hospital simulation-based teaching platform operated by the Nîmes University Hospital and the Montpellier-Nîmes School of Medicine.
Friday, March 30, 2018, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Lecture Hall No. 1, School of Medicine
As part of the Nîmes-Alès Talks from March 27 to 30, 2018.

Practical simulation-based training has long been used in industry, particularly in “high-risk” sectors (transportation, aviation, etc.). The symposium aims to introduce attendees to the principles of simulation-based education in the healthcare field, its benefits for both professionals and patients, and the reasons why this practice is growing so rapidly in France today.
The recent history of the SimHU Nîmes platform and its current activities will also be presented, as will the plan to expand the center within the faculty, which will be renovated and expanded in the medium term.
In particular, the project will be presented through a film—about ten minutes long and shot locally—that will serve as an introduction and kick off the discussion.
A tour of the various simulation rooms, including a demonstration of the equipment (such as intelligent robots capable of simulating clinical situations), will be organized for the public in small groups (by registration). Finally, the public will be invited to participate in an out-of-hospital emergency scenario.
A discussion with the speakers is scheduled to wrap up the morning in the auditorium.
