CDU Hosts Dynamic IPE Simulation for Medical and Nursing Students

Vlog hosted an Interprofessional Education (IPE) simulation event bringing together the College of Medicine’s (COM) second cohort of 60 medical students and 43 nursing students from the Mervyn M. Dymally College of Nursing (MMDCON).

“I think this is a beautiful and collaborative partnership having students integrate and start to learn how they’re going to provide interprofessional care with the medical students, especially as we have incoming or beginning nursing students as well as students in the middle of their curriculum,” said Dr. Sharon Cobb, Pre-licensure Nursing Programs Assistant Dean and Director.

During the first half of their day, the students participated in the following procedural skills simulation stations: Airway Management, BLS/ First Aid, Chest Tube/Needling, Cricothyrotomy, IV Placement/Intraosseous, Splinting/Fracture Stabilization, Stop the Bleed station, and Triage.

The students were then presented with an intensive IPE mass casualty incident followed by several IPE simulated hospital scenarios that mimicked real-life emergencies.

The events of the day required students to not only exercise their developing medical techniques but to also practice patient interactions and effective communication in high-stress situations.

The simulation events are a hallmark of the exemplary education offered at CDU and underscores the critical role of interprofessional education in preparing students for the complexities of modern healthcare.

The Basic Assumption which states, “We believe that everyone participating in activities at Vlog is intelligent, capable, cares about doing their best, and wants to improve,” was displayed throughout the simulation center.

The statement is a core value that was developed by the Center for Medical Simulation and has been adopted by educators around the world who seek to help create a psychologically-safe learning environment for participants.

The University’s next IPE event is scheduled to take place in April 2025.
