East Gippsland Sim Week poster

Advanced life support mannequin, Jimmy, stars as a simulated student in a poster produced to mark this year’s Simulation Week. School of RH East Gippsland responded to an invitation from Simulation Australia to promote local simulation and the resulting poster will be featured on the Simulation Australia website.

The poster features Jimmy at orientation day being introduced to staff and shown the facilities in Bairnsdale. The photos are showcased in black and white film strips reminding the viewer  that the history of simulation dates back to the 16th century.

In 2012 the School of Rural Health East Gippsland, was successful in securing a simulation grant from Health Workforce Australia (HWA). The grant was in support of clinical education using simulation learning modalities for health professions in the East Gippsland region.
