Bairnsdale prepares for Simulation Week
Jimmy checks out resources in the library
Preparations are underway for Simulation Week (3-9 May) which is open to anyone who has a news story or video which highlights their work with simulation. The aim of Simulation week is to promote community and organisation simulation activities and to celebrate achievements of programs, both local and international.
Laurea Atkinson, the Project Officer for the Simulation Learning Environment at the Bairnsdale site of the School of Rural Health has been working hard on a project which highlights the work of the SLE locally including the outreach program. Her new ‘student’ Jimmy has been orientated to the Bairnsdale site, getting to know the staff and learning about opportunities for involvement in simulation and other health education activities. Jimmy is very excited by the prospect of being a “student” at the site. “There is a lot to take in,” he says, “but I am excited by what there is to offer here for students and I am looking forward very much to my time at Bairnsdale.”
There will be more news about Jimmy and Simulation Week in a future edition of Rural Health Matters.
