Dr. Penalo is also joining Drs. Agnant and Pradhan in instructing NYSIM’s Fundamentals of Simulation Education (FUSE) course offered regularly on-site at NYSIM.
Dr. Penalo and the NYSIM leadership team will continue to ensure high-quality education and assessments while fostering an environment of continuous improvement, teamwork, communication, respect, diversity, and excel- lence.

NYSIM is pleased to share new accessories and task trainers acquired to improve and expand simulation education resources. Above, we have two new Breast Examination Skills Trainer Torsos. The left breast provides pathologies for breast self-examination (BSE) training, while the right breast provides pathologies for clinical breast examination training.
- Breasts are attached to a manikin torso and can be easily removed and reassembled
- Left breast contains four masses in the breast tissue and two masses in the axilla region. The masses range in size from 14 to 19 mm, and their depths range from 6 to 16 mm beneath the surface
- Right breast contains enlarged lymph node, fibroadenoma, fibrocystic mass and fluid-filled cyst (ranging from 12 to 24 mm)

Additionally, pictured above are our new MedicFX facial overlays for use with NYSIM’s adult, high-fidelity manikins! MedicFX facial overlays are hand-painted and created with a very soft and durable silicone. They are intended to enhance realism in your simulation training.
