Use of Virtual Reality for Sepsis Recognition and Management Training (CE Session)
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.
