Medical Simulation

Max sits down with David Shablak to discuss how to conduct high-quality training at the unit level. David is the co-host of the SimGeeks Podcast, a paramedic, and an expert in healthcare simulation. This is a great conversation for Medical NCOs and platoon-sized unit leaders who build and conduct training at their level.
During the conversation, David mentions a number of different resources for training, including the "This Old Man Manikin" series on his own YouTube channel, the Laerdal LLEAP software (we're not sponsored by them or anyone else), and the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning. David also discusses credentialing in the simulation profession and opportunities for more learning through the Society for Simulation in Healthcare.
