From Ozarks Healthcare:
WEST PLAINS, MO – Ozarks Healthcare welcomed the University of Missouri’s Shelden Simulation Center Mobile Training Unit to its campus this month, offering nurses from multiple departments a unique, hands-on learning opportunity through high-fidelity simulation.
The MU Simulation Bus is a grant-funded, mobile healthcare training center equipped with state-of-the-art simulation technology. It traveled to Ozarks Healthcare to provide critical skills training for nurses in the health system’s OB, Surgery, GI Lab, Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Cardiac Step-down Unit (CSU), Med/Surg, and Emergency Departments.
Training scenarios included mock codes and malignant hyperthermia emergencies — rare but life-threatening events requiring rapid, coordinated team response. Using realistic manikins and clinical settings, the mobile simulation unit allowed participants to practice decision-making and teamwork in a safe, controlled environment.
“Ongoing education and training are vital to providing excellent care, and this simulation experience takes that to a whole new level,” said Christen Weaver, Chief Nursing Officer at Ozarks Healthcare. “We’re thankful to the University of Missouri for helping bring this invaluable training to our nurses.”
The visit was part of the Mobile Sim program’s mission to expand access to clinical education in rural areas across the state.
