For Educators

Experience for learners can be in short supply. With increasing demands on educators and decreasing training budgets, orientation and getting to productivity for new staff can be a real challenge. PeriopSim helps you to prepare nurses and surgical technologists before they enter the OR so that preceptor time is minimized, staff is more confident and new team members become productive more quickly.

And there is quantitative reporting. Every learner is able to get the same quantitative feedback and reports can be quickly generated. PeriopSim can also be used to for experienced surgical team members to maintain competency in specialties they do infrequently like trauma. Educators will have experienced staff do the modules every three to six months while covering evening and weekend shifts.

What people are saying

The old mantra of “See one, do one, teach one” is no longer applicable in surgical training. One of the biggest advantages of something like PeriopSim is the ability to stop and rewind. You can’t do that in real life.
