New for 2023 are learning centers focused on sepsis, point-of-care ultrasound and the Cedar-Sinai Simulation Center for Advanced Clinical Skills.
Transport Nursing
Sponsored by the Air & Surface Transport Nurses Association, the Transport Nursing Learning Center features an emergency transport helicopter provided by JeffStat and Jefferson Health, plus a critical care ambulance from MEDStar Health & Transport.
Critical Care Challenge
During this clinical competition, teams of nurses use their clinical knowledge, psychomotor skills and teamwork to provide care for a simulated patient. The scenarios test each team’s patient assessment, critical decision-making, clinical knowledge and teamwork.
The “Front Lines” of Healthcare
U.S. Army Nurse Recruiting uses a full-size field operating room and field medical unit to simulate the challenges faced on the battlefield or during a disaster. Attendees can watch as Army physicians, nurses and medics demonstrate lifesaving surgical techniques used in the field.
Patient-Care Innovations
Healthcare and medical device companies, including sector leaders and startups, bring interactive demonstrations of the newest equipment, devices and technology to the showroom floor. New products, equipment and devices will be displayed and demonstrated.
