Simulation Training & Assessment for Medical Procedures

At SimRated, we have found that students become more engaged and interested in careers in medicine through simulation of procedures. Simulation training exposes students to the day-to-day activities of careers in medicine, connecting their STEM course knowledge with practical skills. Medical simulation training also demonstrates student interest and knowledge to prospective internships, colleges, and employers. Ideally, students earn a digital badge certification to demonstrate how they have obtained hands-on practical knowledge. 

The medical procedures you choose to teach should strike a balance between those that meet your students’ interests and those that fit best with the learning objectives of your program. Procedures such as hand washing, IV placement, and Creating a Sterile Feild are applicable to most medical career pathways. Once you have decided on which medical procedures align with your learning objectives, you will need to prepare to teach a procedure you may have never performed before. Extending an invitation to medical professionals to train your instructors and students is an ideal way to learn how to perform any given procedure. 

We know it can be challenging to get medical professionals to volunteer in your CTE program. An alternative opportunity exists in the use of online curricula and videos that demonstrate medical procedures. SimRated is a complete solution that combines procedural education with simulation-based assessment. 

SimRated provides:

• Procedural education

• Simulation-based assessment

• Online medical procedure curriculum

• Videos demonstrating the procedure

• Critical action checklists

• Opportunity to upload student performance videos 

• Evaluation and feedback from expert clinicians

• Digital Badge Certification

SimRated’s evaluation process is accessible, online, and is transparent in the scoring and evaluation metrics used so clinicians, trade schools, and colleges understand exactly what the certification means.

Medical simulation training can be an exciting and enriching experience for all students that will ultimately prepare them for careers in medicine. We would love to set up a short demo. Click HERE to Schedule.
