Massive advancements have been made in technology around critical care education. Some elements have greatly improved the reality, while some have improved accessibility to information that might have been locked away. This session will describe novel technology for education and simulation in critical care, as well as the data around the impact of educational tools on learners and their ability to retain and implement new knowledge.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe novel technologies, including augmented, mixed, and virtual reality, and their roles in teaching critical care
  • Discuss data on the impact of new technology on learning, procedural competency, and implementation of knowledge
  • Describe novel uses of simulation in critical care from the bedside to unit design

Presentations:

  • 9:50 AM - 10:05 AM Central Time
