It’s our voice to vendors, and vendors' toys, through the society. Dr. Ribeira also talks about the importance of networking, SimVentors Showcase@ IMSH, what is was like to found Sim X and much more. So take a listen to a great guy, and enjoy.   -SimGeeks Podcast

Will and I have been so busy, that a little time has passed us by.... BUT WE ARE BACK!   This week we invited Deb Tauber to talk about her Sim podcast, "The Sim Cafe" as well as her company "Innovative Sim Solutions" https://innovativesimsolutions.com/podcasts https://innovativesimsolutions.com/ What she is mainly here to talk about is the difficult topic of End of Life situations and how to do a simulation to educate and prepare providers for this eventual situation we all go through. She has experience with both the situation and running simulations so we are so glad she was able to come in and talk with us. Give it a listen and let us know what you think with comments both here and on any of our social media profiles.  As always, thank you for listening.  Sincerely,  The SimGeeks Podcast

Ep. 22 - Haru Okuda - Where do we go from here?

Our goal is to address all things simulation in a relaxed and entertaining format. Come along with us as we grow SimGeeks into your favorite place to discover new simulation topics and make new friends. William Belk is an educator from the HEMS world. David Shablak, NRP, CHSOS-A has been a ”Sim Tech” for over 10 years in an EM residency and has a strange and varied background.

Direct to the point

This podcast is a MUST for anyone involved in healthcare simulation. Every episode is full of priceless nuggets of gold that will save newbies (as well as experienced sim professionals) lots of heartache when trying to excel in the simulation arena. LOTS of awesome (and easy to comprehend) technical information is included in this podcast. Real resources, real products, and real techniques that anyone can implement &amp; use in their program. This is definitely not a stuffy, boring podcast. These guys are absolutely great &amp; are constantly giving props &amp; support to the other talented voices that are out there in our diverse community. SimGeeks is truly the podcast that the simulation world has needed for a long time &amp; these two guys continue to hit it out of the park with each episode!

Finally!!!

#8 Moulage Basics

Building on last week's Moulage Basics the guys start into the basics of using silicone for prosthetics and task trainers. This episode will take you from learning what silicone is and what types are available through to where to get it, how to start using it and even how to paint it.  Silicone will be another topic that comes up again and again so if you have a specific question you'd like us to answer please hit us up on social email or through the Podbean app!
