SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY
Simulation specialists replicate situations or environments, through the use of programming and robotics that allow healthcare professionals to experience simulated reality for the purpose of training. This program is designed to provide the programming, robotics, and healthcare basics needed to gain employment in a simulation center or lab. This course of study is intended for individuals who have an interest in working with robotics in the healthcare setting as well as individuals already working in simulation settings.
Program prerequisites:
- Complete BBCC admissions process.
- Complete English and math placement tests.
- Meet with the Medical Simulation program advisor to develop a professional development plan.
- Have a satisfactory criminal background check prior to SIM 295.
Physical and Psychosocial Requirements for the Medical Simulation program:
- Demonstrate good body mechanics, lift/carry a minimum of 25 lbs independently and 50 lbs with assistance.
- Demonstrate ability to tolerate intermittent sitting, standing, stooping and walking. Full range of motion is required.
- Demonstrate ability to work in high-paced facilities in various stressful circumstances while promoting positive professionalism with staff, community partners, and visitors.
The certificate of accomplishment is designed to provide recognition for the students that have completed the core dynamics of the Simulation Technology program. This certificate will provide foundational skills in basic programming, maintenance, and instructional strategies that the student can use to implement high fidelity medical simulation activities.
