Augmented Reality In Clinical Dental Training And Education, Zainab Haji, Aysha Arif, Shizrah Jamal, Rabia Ghafoor

Section of Dental-Oral Maxillofacial Surgery

Dentistry is a profession that requires coordinated motor skills in addition to acquired knowledge for ideal execution of any treatment plan for patients.

Conventional pre-clinical training employed the use of cadavers, but financial, ethical and supervisory constraints have become a major shortcoming. With the adaptation of technology in dentistry, pre-clinical training has now employed simulation. It provides the opportunity for students to develop psychomotor skills for procedures by practising pre-clinical, standardised learning competencies before they engage in patient-management.

Faculty Readiness To Integrate Clinical Simulation, Jercilla Murmu

DNP Research Projects

Abstract

Objective: Nursing education is called for reform in the nursing curriculum to meet the complex health care system of the 21st century. The traditional teaching model is inadequate to meet the current nursing practice and requires innovation in education using technology.

Currently, up to 50% of clinicals hours can be replaced by simulation in the prelicensure core nursing courses. However, the readiness of faculty to use the technology as an innovation strategy is not well established. This study aims to assess the readiness …

DNP Projects

Abstract

Background: Provider shortages and demands for inpatient providers have led to an increase in the utilization of Advanced Practice Providers (APPs). The increased use and specialization of APPs has brought attention to education and skills that have been instituted for other provider types but remains missing from the APP curricula. One such example is point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) education. This technology and skill set have been shown to enhance clinical skills, confidence levels, and provide useful information for the provider to enhance clinical decision making for the patient.

Purpose: The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of …
