One of the most important resources available to the SLU Athletic Training Program is the School of Medicine's Clinical Simulation Center. It utilizes high fidelity patient simulators to create a life-like emergency management scenario. On Tuesday, April 24, 2012, the SLU AT students went through football emergency scenarios in the lab. Each scenario was managed by a 5 person team of first and second year professional AT students. They were allowed to practice beforehand, but during the scenario, the only feedback was provided through their primary and secondary assessment of the patient. Feedback forms were completed by faculty who were observing the activity, and Dr. Jason Bennett conducted a debriefing session with the students using the video of their performance. This type of experience is so important in the professional preparation of the SLU AT students.
