Abstract There is an ongoing and established need for humanitarian training and professionalization. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted training programs designed to accomplish this goal, including the Humanitarian Response Intensive Course, which includes a three-day immersive simulation to prepare humanitarian workers for future field work. To provide program continuity, the three day simulation was quickly adapted to a virtual format using a combination of video conferencing, short messaging service, and cloud-based file storage software. Participants were geographically dispersed and participated virtually. Learning objectives were preserved while some components not amenable to a virtual format were removed. A virtual humanitarian training simulation is a feasible, acceptable, and affordable alternative to an in-person simulation. Participants were engaged and experienced minimal technological disruptions. The majority of students felt the format met or exceeded expectations. However, feedback also emphasized the importance of providing sufficient time for team collaboration and deliverable preparation in the simulation schedule. The virtual format was more affordable than the traditional in-person simulation and diverse expert faculty who could not have attended in-person were able to participate. This format could be used to overcome other barriers to in-person simulation training, including geographic, financial, time, or security.

Burns are devastating injuries which represent a significant global health burden. In the UK alone, it is estimated that 175 000 people suffer from burns injuries requiring hospital attention every year. The global treatment of burns can be improved through a more systematic team-based approach, which can be achieved through simulation training. Simulation has an increasingly important role in medical education, not only allowing practitioners to apply their knowledge in a controlled and safe environment, but also allowing them to gain technical and non-technical skills. This article explores the role of simulation as an important and effective tool for burns education worldwide.

The study discusses the purpose, tasks and main directions of simulation education in modern medical universities. We formulated the main directions of simulation training in modern conditions and gave a brief description of the possibilities of dummies and the simulation center itself: theoretical and practical training, simulation trainings, use of educational materials, debriefing, master classes, seminars and lectures, competitions and Olympiads, use of feedback devices, questionnaires, etc. We briefly described each learning method with advantages and existing disadvantages and paid attention to the training of the population in first aid skills. In conclusion, we presented the key advantages and disadvantages of simulation training: legislative regulation, cost of purchase of equipment and its maintenance, a wide range of competences of the teacher in terms of preparation for classes and adjustment of phantom, the need for programmers, engineers and laboratory technicians, issues of selection of the appropriate dummy among the line of domestic and foreign products. For each problem, we proposed ways to overcome it, as well as recommended various methods of training in simulation centers. The study will be useful for students and teachers of medical universities, as well as for doctors undergoing postgraduate training.

<p>The equipment training simulation training system is an important technical means to train the combat support ability. The current equipment security training system has many defects, such as distribution, heterogeneous, decentralized, and cannot meet the actual combat state of the integrated training requirements. In an information platform, the integration of existing subsystems become an urgent need to solve the problem. The development of information systems technology makes it possible to build this unified platform. This paper uses the construction of equipment support simulation training platform as an example to discuss the construction of collaborative operation environment, the component operation of platform resources, the digital management of platform and the dynamic construction of platform, and give the corresponding solutions.</p>

The rapid spread of social media provides a new reality for organizational communication and team collaboration. This also applies to projects and project management, where logical application areas are stakeholder engagement and team collaboration. This last application area will be most beneficial to international projects with geographically dispersed teams. However, the landscape of social media is not unified. There are remarkable differences between regions, countries and generations. This chapter explores these differences, by discussing different perspectives on the social media landscape.

The aim of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the history of microsurgery in Greece and how it evolved throughout the years. It is based on published literature as well as anecdotal evidence. It is by no means an exhaustive list of available resources and contributions. Microsurgery in Greece begins with Prof Soucacos who acquired his microsurgical skills in the USA (1970–1974), where he worked as a clinical and research fellow. After gaining invaluable experience, he returned to his home country, Greece, to establish a microsurgery replantation team in 1975. His team gained national recognition soon thereafter thanks to the many successes and innovations they achieved. The tradition is continued with contemporary microsurgical courses in Greece from expert faculty and a busy microsurgical practice in several centers across the country. The experimental educational program in microsurgery includes a blend of synthetic and live animal models, such as rats and rabbits. They include a complete exposure to basic and advanced practical exercises through several days. The simulation training models slowly but surely steadily advance to meet the training standards.

Bag Mask Ventilation

Objective: Bag mask ventilation (BMV) is fundamental to airway management. Simulation is effective in airway management training, but its effectiveness for difficult BMV training is less clear. We evaluated the difference between type of training (simulation vs on patients) and the pass rate on a post-test on patients. Design: A single center pilot study was performed with 32 medical students randomized to participate in difficult BMV training on simulators or patients. Pre- and post-training tests on the simulator and on patients were recorded. Surveys of trainee confidence level were collected. The primary goal was to estimate the difference between type of training (simulation vs on patients) and the pass rate on the post-test on patients with an improvement of 10% or more in passing rate considered as a meaningful improvement. Secondary outcomes included whether or not participants passed the simulator post-test, post-test on patient confidence, and pre- and post-test confidence. Measurements and main results: Participants trained on the simulator had 13% higher passing rate on the post-test on patients compared to participants trained on patients (88% vs 75%). In addition, subjects that passed the simulator post-test had 11 times the odds of passing a post-test on patients relative to subjects that did not pass the simulator post-test ( P = 0.023, odds ratio = 11.0, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.48-81.6). Post-training confidence levels were higher among those who passed the simulator pre-test and post-test and received simulator training. Conclusions: Simulation training for difficult BMV led to a higher passing rate on a post-test on patients compared to those trained on patients. This finding will need to be confirmed in larger randomized controlled trials. Successfully completing difficult BMV training on a simulator with a passing grade correlated with passing a test on difficult BMV on patients.
