Yesterday was the 10th birthday of Hannaford Simulation Center @ Maine Medical Center can’t wait to see what’s in store for the next decade!

‘Our mission is to utilize experiential learning techniques of healthcare simulation to educate the caregivers of tomorrow, optimize the clinical teams of today, and bolster the safety of our systems and spaces to ensure Maine’s communities are the healthiest in America.’

Ready to roll! Excited to simulate in the cardiac OR. Strong prep work by our sim specialists and the cardiac surgery team to plan this event. @SuzJLane

Perfusionists practice their protocol to manage an intra operative air embolism during a simulated event.

This year we are very fortunate to have Dr. Amal Mattu, EKG Jedi, as teaching faculty for our 39th Winter Symposium. In this lecture, he helps us differentiate septal STEMIs from other potentially life threatening mimics. #FOAMed #EMconf Amal Mattu downeastem.org/downeastem/202…
