Geisinger’s simulation program, part of Geisinger College of Health Sciences, includes simulations using an intuitive robotic simulator to practice specific procedures. Examples of high-fidelity simulators include the SimMan 3G, the most advanced emergency care patient simulator available. The programs include a clinical simulation program and a healthcare communication program, both accredited by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare. The clinical simulation program, which focuses on critical thinking and procedural skills, provides training for learners, including a mandatory central line course and a nasogastric tube course for all incoming residents and fellows. The healthcare communication program has standardized patients that play various roles such as patient, family member or member of the healthcare team. This allows learners to practice their communication skills, utilizing case scenarios in a safe environment with debrief and feedback sessions with trained faculty. Notably, the program offers several workshops for all members of the healthcare team, including a microaggressions workshop.
