Save Real Lives by Practicing with Virtual Patients from Body Interact

Learn to teach, train and assess on the new virtual patient system, Body Interact. This is a bold new approach to teaching students and healthcare professionals to train critical thinking skills and improve decision making in less time. A virtual patient simulation system with real-time physiological responses, Body Interact™ allows for individual or team interaction. This innovative system is designed to strengthen a student’s ability to make critical decisions while feeling the pressure of real-life healthcare settings.

The Power of Customizable Simulation

Ideal for students in Medicine, EMS, Nursing, and more, Body Interact™ features dynamic and expandable technology with over 600 customizable patient scenarios available. Beth Telesz and Fabien Pampaloni from Pocket Nurse will demonstrate several patient scenarios on the new Body Interact virtual patient simulator, distributed by Pocket Nurse.

The training platform integrates various phases and modalities of simulation education, including:

• Needs Assessment
• Scenario Design
• Pre-briefing and Facilitation
• Debriefing and Outcomes

Core Learning Objectives

The curriculum is designed around the following goals:

• To learn how to teach multiple students on real scenarios from a virtual setting.
• To learn how to use a new virtual patient system to assess students reactions to real-time situations.
• To understand how customize a new virtual system to meet your specific education needs.

Comprehensive Training Modalities

The following table outlines the diverse training tools and clinical focus areas supported by the simulation environment:

Expert Insights in Healthcare Simulation

Beth Telesz has been a Registered Nurse since 1996 and brings with her many years of experience in impacting patient care in a variety of ways at The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). She has a broad healthcare background spanning from clinical nursing, quality improvement, patient safety, healthcare innovation, staff development and patient and healthcare provider education to Simulation Training where she spent the last 15 years of her career.
