Before implementing AI in your simulation center, University of Alabama at Birmingham asks three critical questions:

❓ What are you trying to do?
❓ What is the benefit?
❓ Is this necessary—or just flashy?

🗨️"The decision to implement AI would fall along the same lines of implementing any modality," says Tara Edmonds, UAB's Director of Assessment. "It's always determining the risk to benefit."

UAB's strategic approach: They're using AI at the back end—for quality control and faculty scoring support—NOT changing the learner-facing experience. Learning objectives stay the same. Tasks stay the same. AI supplements grading and feedback after the encounter.

The alternative? Using AI for virtual patients or real-time feedback means "completely changing the way you're initially building your learners' encounter"—and introducing countless new variables.

✅The takeaway: Strategic AI adoption isn't about doing everything possible. It's about doing what's necessary for your educational design.

We all learn from experience—but sometimes the best lessons come from sharing them.

🤔Think back to a moment in your clinical training or practice that taught you something you’ll never forget. Was it a high-pressure situation, a breakthrough with a patient, or a collaborative team win?

Share your story below and let’s celebrate the moments that shape confident, compassionate care.👇

Stress, burnout, and limited clinical experience aren’t just numbers—they’re real challenges affecting confidence, competence, and patient safety.

Faculty shortages and stretched hospital resources make it harder to bridge the gap, leaving students and first-year nurses navigating high-stakes situations with less support.

Stacie Wood, Chief Nursing Officer of Elevate Healthcare, shares why we must address these gaps now, and how investing in readiness today protects patients, supports teams, and strengthens the future of nursing.

Who’s the Lucina in your life?🤰

At Montana Tech's Sherry Lesar School of Nursing, Lucina isn’t just a manikin—she’s the patient who teaches students how to care with confidence, compassion, and skill.

From labor and delivery to postpartum care, Lucina lets learners practice real-world scenarios in a safe, hands-on environment.

🗨️“Lucina's versatility adds immense value to our simulation program, allowing seamless transitions between obstetric and non-obstetric scenarios for a comprehensive learning experience,” shares Janet Richards Coe, Director of Nursing.

Every chest compression, pulse check, and clinical decision prepares students to step into patient care ready, competent, and confident. Lucina isn’t just a manikin—she’s a partner in building the next generation of nurses.

The end game is always to provide more to the learners.🚀

University of Alabama at Birmingham's simulation team isn't just using AI to save time—they're using it to fundamentally improve educational quality.

How❓ AI scoring runs parallel to every SP encounter, creating:

✅ Real-time SP training feedback
✅ Comprehensive quality control (not just spot-checking)
✅ More rigorous learner assessment
✅ Scalable feedback mechanisms

Director of Assessment, Tara Edmonds, breaks down how AI enables what was previously impossible: reviewing 100% of encounters for SP performance while freeing faculty to focus on higher-level learner feedback.

🤰Every birth is a story of anticipation, skill, and teamwork.

With , learners step into those moments—assessing, responding, and making critical decisions that matter in real time.

From routine deliveries to rare emergencies🆘, each scenario builds confidence, strengthens communication, and prepares teams for what’s unpredictable in patient care.

Every hands-on experience helps reduce errors, enhance collaboration, and ensure learners are ready when real patients arrive.

When a patient’s condition can change in an instant, confidence and teamwork make all the difference.✨

, our modular patient simulator, lets learners experience those high-stakes moments firsthand—whether it’s a sudden cardiac arrest or a complex fluid imbalance.

Through immersive, hands-on scenarios, learners practice ✅making critical decisions, ✅communicating with their team, and ✅responding under pressure—all in a safe, controlled environment.

Each session builds clinical confidence, reduces errors, and prepares teams for the unexpected, from daily emergencies to large-scale incidents.
