David Rodgers co-presented on Structured and Supported Debriefing at the Third Annual Symposium on Nursing Simulation on December 3 and 4, 2009, in Pittsburgh, PA.

Simulation in Healthcare, the journal of the Society of Simulation in Healthcare, published the research article The Effect of High-Fidelity Simulation on Learning Outcomes in Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support with David Rodgers as the lead author.

The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia hires David Rodgers as a clincial educator in the Center for Simulation, Advanced Education, and Innovation. Dr. Rodgers will continue to provide consultation services through Healthcare Simulation Strategies as time permits.

David Rodgers will be presenting a patient simulation workshop at the Blue Ridge Respiratory care Symposium in Front Royal, Va.  

The spring issue of Domain3: Official Publication of the National Association of EMS Educators featured an article by Dr. Rodgers titled Patient Simulation in EMS Education. For more information go to www.naemse.org.

During the Ninth Annual International Meeting on Medical Simulation in Orlando, FL, David Rodgers was an invited participant in two panel discussions presentations. "Learning Theories and Simulation: New Advances from Science and Education" which was copresented with Dr. John George and "And why would we fund you? How funding agencies think and how to convince them?" was chaired by Peter Dieckmann. Go to www.ssih.org for more information.

David Rodgers presented the keynote address at the Laerdal Midwest Simulation User Network meeting in Chicago on Oct. 16 and 17. Dr. Rodgers address was titled “Debriefing: Contrasting Models and Techniques.” For more information, go to www.laerdal.com .

David Rodgers copresented a one-day workshop on medical simulation at the National Association of EMS Educators annual conference in St. Louis, Missouri, on Sept. 11, 2008. For information about this workshop and the rest of the NAEMSE conference schedule, visit www.naemse.org.

The 19th Annual Respiratory Care Conference at Charleston Area Medical Center will featured a presentation by David Rodgers titled “Simulation in Respiratory Care: Learning in Immersive Environments.”  

The Citizens’ CPR Foundation presented David Rodgers with the 2008 William H. Montgomery Excellence in Education award for the outstanding presentation at its biannual conference, Emergency Cardiovascular Care Update, held in Las Vegas. Dr. Rodgers presentation was titled “"The Effective Use of Patient Simulators in Life Support Training Courses: Potential and Pitfalls.”  Award Photo

David Rodgers made a presentation titled "The Effective Use of Patient Simulators in Life Support Training Courses: Potential and Pitfalls" at Emergency Cardiovascular Care Update 2008. ECCU 2008 is scheduled from June 13 through 15 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Dr. Rodgers also has two research abstracts being presented in poster format at ECCU 2008. For information about this conference, go to www.citizencpr.org.  

The research team led by David Rodgers presented two posters at Emergency Cardiovascular Care Update 2008 in Las Vegas. The two posters were titled “ACLS students manage simulated ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrests better than non-ventricular cardiac arrests ” and “Student self-reported confidence in Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support skills is overrated compared to expert-rater evaluation of student performance. ”

Three peer-reviewed poster or syllabus abstracts were presented at the annual International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH) in San Diego, California, in which David Rodgers was lead author or co-author. The abstracts included: Simulator fidelity is not a predictor of effective resuscitation teamwork, Student perceptions of self-efficacy in ACLS are not influenced by simulator fidelity, and Nursing students' perspectives on the role of high-fidelity manikin-based simulation in the nursing curriculum: Preliminary data . IMSH is the world’s premier healthcare simulation conference.

David Rodgers presented the peer-reviewed poster abstract “Written evaluation in Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support is not a predictor for cardiac arrest performance” at the Resuscitation Science Symposium (ReSS) in Orlando, Florida. ReSS is a preconference to American Heart Association Scientific Sessions, the largest cardiovascular conference in the world.
