- Engage in lifelike simulations of gastrointestinal bleeds caused by esophageal varices, presenting diverse patient cases and clinical complexities.
- Practice rapid and focused assessments to identify signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding, including hematemesis, melena, hypovolemic shock, and hemodynamic instability.
- Utilize diagnostic tools and tests, such as upper endoscopy, laboratory studies, and imaging modalities, to confirm the diagnosis and assess the severity of gastrointestinal bleeding.
- Implement evidence-based interventions for the management of acute gastrointestinal bleeds, including resuscitation, hemostasis techniques, and pharmacological therapies.
- Navigate through dynamic clinical scenarios, making critical decisions regarding treatment strategies, transfusion thresholds, and the need for endoscopic interventions or surgical procedures.
- Enhance communication skills by effectively conveying patient information, treatment plans, and updates to the interdisciplinary healthcare team and engaging in shared decision-making with patients and families.
- Experience immersive XR technology that provides a safe and controlled environment for learning, allowing for repeated practice, immediate feedback, and reflective debriefing to improve clinical competence and confidence.
