The Medical Nutrition Therapy Simulations feature 10 decision-tree modules in which students are asked to weigh different options in treatment of a patient with conditions like diabetes, congestive heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, helping them develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills. The accompanying text incorporate prompts for 10 peer-to-peer simulation experiences that reflect the topics presented as part of the decision-tree modules. The text also includes a chapter on the nutrition-focused physical examination, a relatively new area for dietitians.

This book focuses on the predictive capabilities derived from digital representation of humans in simulation or virtual environments. It reports on models that facilitate prediction of safety and performance, and describes both innovative visualization techniques as well as the underlying mathematics and science. Contributions cover a wealth of topics, including simulation tools and platforms, virtual interactive design, model optimization methods, ontologies and knowledge-based decision support, human-computer interaction, human augmentation, and many others. The book gives special emphasis to cutting-edge simulation applications of human system modeling and optimization, including aviation, manufacturing and service industries, automotive design, product design, healthcare, sustainability, and emergency management. Based on the AHFE 2016 International Conference on Digital Human Modeling and Simulation, held on July 27-31, 2016, in Walt Disney World®, Florida, USA, it is intended as timely survey for researchers, engineers, designers, applied mathematicians and practitioners working in the field of Human Factors and Ergonomics.

Practising fundamental patient care skills and techniques is essential to the development of trainees' wider competencies in all medical specialties. After the success of simulation learning techniques used in other industries, such as aviation, this approach has been adopted into medical education. This book assists novice and experienced teachers in each of these fields to develop a teaching framework that incorporates simulation. The Manual of Simulation in Healthcare, Second Edition is fully revised and updated. New material includes a greater emphasis on patient safety, interprofessional education, and a more descriptive illustration of simulation in the areas of education, acute care medicine, and aviation. Divided into three sections, it ranges from the logistics of establishing a simulation and skills centre and the inherent problems with funding, equipment, staffing, and course development to the considerations for healthcare-centred simulation within medical education and the steps required to develop courses that comply with 'best practice' in medical education. Providing an in-depth understanding of how medical educators can best incorporate simulation teaching methodologies into their curricula, this book is an invaluable resource to teachers across all medical specialties.

"Medical Simulation has become a standard training tool for novice providers and master clinicians alike. In a controlled environment, everything from communication skills to crisis resource management and procedures can be practiced and evaluated. The traditional "see one, do one, teach one" pedagogy is antiquated as high fidelity simulation experiences allow for a safer "see one, practice a few, do one, teach one." This is especially embraced in the pediatric community where our patients are sometimes less cooperative and the stakes can feel emotionally heightened. This handbook represents lessons learned from hundreds and thousands of hours of personal experience with Pediatric Simulation and is appropriately rooted in the best evidence and shared knowledge in simulation literature. This handbook is not meant to be a comprehensive overview of Pediatric Simulation. Those books exist. The journals are great. The communities of Pediatric Simulation experts are welcoming and beyond wonderful. This handbook is meant to be a pragmatic consult. If you are a brand-new simulation faculty member looking for an outline of best practices with practical tips for implementation, this handbook is for you. If you are a seasoned simulation veteran with good working knowledge of simulation wondering how to develop pediatric-specific programs, this handbook is for you. If you are a simulation tech or new operations staff trying to train and orient yourself, this handbook is for you. If you are trying to help make the case for a certain type of simulation program to stakeholders, this handbook is for you. We hope that sharing our personal wins and lessons alongside evidence reads as a consult or a helpful colleague"--
