Victoria U has two new “high-tech simulated settings” for nursing, midwifery and paramed students, which feature “computerised mannequins that have blinking eyes, breathing chests, bleeding arteries, and grumbling bowels.”
“They can reproduce all the conditions of a real patient, delivering a baby, having a heart attack, or dying from a life-threatening injury,” VU announces.
According to VU Health Simulation Director Dr Karen Livesay, “simulated learning allows students to use new technology and repeatedly practise techniques with increased levels of difficulty in a safe and supportive setting.”
All good, apart freaking-out students who watch Westworld.
