Simulation in Motion-Nebraska (SIM-NE) strives to provide experiential education resulting in all Nebraskans having high-quality out-of-hospital and in-hospital emergency healthcare. Through their Mission, SIM-NE seeks to enhance the quality and accessibility of emergency medical education to rural/frontier areas by delivering high-quality, technologically advanced simulation training to the Emergency Medical Care Providers in Critical Access Hospitals and ambulance services across the entire state.
During the time that SIM-NE has not been able to provide in-person/on-site training, due to the pandemic, SIM-NE has focused on providing the most current scientific information possible surrounding COVID-19 to the healthcare providers in the state.
- SIM-NE has hosted 11 Facebook live events covering different aspect of the virus.
- Most of the panelists for the events have been experts from UNMC that are nationally and/or internationally recognized for their work with highly infectious diseases including the COVID-19 virus.
While SIM-NE is not currently able to safely provide onsite, in-person training we are committed to starting up the training in person as soon as we can safely do so.
