The month of June found our team increasingly busy as iEXCEL expanded training activities beyond our initial focus on COVID-19.
By organizing large group sessions into smaller, more focused learning experiences (carefully following safety protocols), over 200 Nebraska Medicine staff, residents, faculty and students were able to take advantage of the capabilities of the Davis Global Center.
Please continue to reach out to our iEXCEL staff

,
so we can be available to help you adopt interprofessional, experiential training. Below you will discover the myriad of innovative learning opportunities available at the Davis Global Center.

iEXCEL ramped up reactivation throughout June, welcoming more learners into the Davis Global Center. Highlights included: Internal medicine residents practicing ultrasound techniques and sonography scanning; UNMC College of Allied Health Professional first year students learning cardiac scanning; Nurse Practitioners and Neonate Nurses from the NICU at Nebraska Medicine practicing care of the neonate; and third year medical students learning how to birth a baby!

Interprofessional training continues to be a top priority for iEXCEL. Residents and staff, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and respiratory therapists from Nebraska Medicine at Bellevue's interprofessional teams worked to manage code and seizing patient scenarios.
|
|
SIM-NE connected with rural communities through virtual training events, including: two Facebook Live sessions on caregiver wellness and cardiac/neuro implications with COVID-19 (400+ participants), as well as four EMS rural agency training sessions.

The advanced surgical simulation floor “came to life” as nine of the operating room bays were outfitted with a light source, camera box, insufflation device and monitor in preparation for training in laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures.

The Laser CAVE-5 installation was completed by technicians from Barco, a Belgium-based company, who traveled to the Davis Global Center to ensure all five walls were properly aligned. The Laser CAVE-5 represents the pinnacle of this technology with limitless possibilities for cutting-edge visualization experiences, training and research.

|
|
The visualization team created essential content for departments across campus, including a heart render for learners at the UNMC
Cardiovascular Biology and Biomechanics Laboratory, as well as the
Nebraska Medicine Cardiac Cath Lab.
