New Business

Grand Challenges (survey administered)

Sim Lab discussion

  • Joe – at COH meeting discussed they would like a short term solution until they develop their own; can be a Grand Challenge? For RESP short term, looking at current SIM room in 205 setting up as a space with a bed and mannequin. Control is done with a wireless laptop. Also adding an audio-visual system in 209 for debriefing.
  • Joie – doesn’t think she can get a C-Arm upstairs; will have to purchase a mini. Ultrasound unit will fit. FOAM may need to consult to verify how much weight the elevator can safely hold.
  • Bob – it’s not affordable based on needs ($500/student fee a semester). Plus doubling size of enrollment. Will need to increase space. Will need a solution for Fall.
