We are also glad to announce that NYSIM has upgraded several of our GlideScopes to their newest model, GlideScope® CoreTM. This new flexible airway visualization system is the first of its kind to offer live, simultaneous picture-in- picture imaging. It also incorporates disposable blades. Another upgrade that we’re excited to announce is the newest SimBaby from Laerdal Medical. This manikin has a variety of new features, including capillary refill, pupillary light reflex, and it is entirely wireless. Be sure to check in with SOAs during intakes to discuss utilizing the new equipment!
This month we are thrilled to announce that NYSIM will now offer HeartCode® ACLS, BLS, and PALS courses to the community.

This month we’d like to extend our warm welcomes to our new Administrative Coordinator, Emery Olson. Emery is joining the team after studying economics at the University of Massachusetts. At UMass, she was a part of the executive board for UMass For The Kids, a student organization that fundraises for a local children’s hospital. Through her collegiate work, she discovered a passion for helping further the medical field. At NYSIM, Emery will be working closely with the rest of the administrative team to ensure the center’s successful operation. NYSIM is thrilled to have Emery joining the team, and we hope you will join us in welcoming her to the NYSIM community!
We would also like to welcome Jolie Blair to the NYSIM team this month, as our newest Project Associate. Jolie recently graduated Emory University with a Bachelor of Arts in Human Health and Theater Studies. She is currently a Master of Health Administration candidate at Columbia Mailman School of Public Health. Jolie was introduced to the world of simulation at Emory University School of Medicine where she fell in love with OSCEs and their role in medical education. She currently assists the Program Manager in supporting the Standardized Patient, and External Programs at NYSIM. We are thrilled by Jolie’s enthusiasm for OSCEs and we are grateful for all she has brought to the team so far. Welcome, Jolie!
NYSIM is pleased to announce that we are starting our transition to a new Learning Management System, the B-Line Medical SimCapture system. As part of that transition we are upgrading the center’s Audio and Video infrastructure. This work begun in May, 2019, and will continue throughout the end of July, 2019. During this time, the Audio/Visual company will be on site to remove old equipment and install new hardware for the new system. We are working tirelessly to ensure this transition runs as smoothly as possible, and we appreciate the ongoing patience and support of our faculty and staff!Pages
The mission of NYSIM is to provide simulation education and research that fosters quality care, patient safety, and effective communication with patients and among health care professionals.
