Includes a Live Web Event on 09/26/2024 at 1:00 PM (PDT)
Description:
Date/Time: September 26, 2024 | 4:00 - 4:15 pm ET
In this session, attendees will discover the transformative potential of virtual reality (VR) in enhancing medical training for sepsis recognition and management . The presenter will discuss the limitations of current training methods and demonstrate how VR can bridge these gaps, offering immersive, hands-on experiences that traditional approaches lack. Attendees will gain insights into the application of VR technology, including detailed examples of its successful use in training scenarios. Understanding how VR not only improves competency in sepsis recognition but also provides a robust platform for assessment and continuous learning - crucial in how cutting-edge technology is revolutionizing medical education and patient care.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, the learner should be able to:
- Identify the gaps in standard modalities for training on the recognition of sepsis;
- Restate how virtual reality can fill gaps in the training of sepsis recognition;
- Describe how virtual reality has been used for training and assessment on sepsis recognition and management.
Target Audience:
Nurses, advanced practice providers, physicians, emergency responders, pharmacists, medical technologists, respiratory therapists, physical/occupational therapists, infection prevention specialists, data/quality specialists, and more.

Assistant Professor, Division of Critical Care Medicine
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center
Matthew Zackoff, MD, MEd is an intensivist with fellowship training in pediatric critical care medicine. He is also a researcher who draws on his degrees in biomedical engineering and medical education, as well as his formal training in improvement science methodologies to investigate the use of novel technologies in physician training and patient care. Dr. Zackoff believes providing the best possible care to patients requires timely and accurate recognition of clinical conditions, and that one of the best ways to accomplish this is to ensure that frontline healthcare providers are clinically competent and work in systems that support their efforts. His research focuses on the use of novel technology to improve patient outcomes. Currently, Dr. Zackoff is studying how virtual reality, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence technologies can enhance clinician training, improve performance assessment, and optimize healthcare delivery.
