Decision Making Simulation with Body Interact for Physicians

Body Interact is a virtual patient simulator designed for the education, training, and assessment of students and healthcare professionals. This course uses Body Interact to help learners apply their stroke care knowledge, think critically, and solve problems in a safe, simulated environment.

We recommend completing the "4 Steps to Treatment Decision" course either before or in parallel with these simulations. This supplementary course provides a 4-step approach to making informed treatment decisions in the hyperacute phase and introduces the Body Interact tool.

Course Objective:
The primary objective of this course is to enhance clinical reasoning and decision-making skills in stroke care through realistic simulations. Participants will identify patients' primary conditions and apply appropriate interventions or medications according to their roles. The course aims to improve the ability to make informed decisions in various stroke clinical scenarios.
 

Course Structure:
The course is composed of multiple scenarios, each including:

• Initial Briefing: Overview of the case and objectives.
• Simulation Scenario: Interactive session with a 3D virtual patient where participants can ask questions, perform physical examinations, monitor vital signs, order tests, and more.
• Feedback Area: Review and analysis of the decisions made during the simulation.

Body Interact and Angels Initiative have developed 14 virtual simulations for physicians with the focus on decision making in hyperacute stroke care.

Course Duration:
The duration of each simulation is adjustable, but it is recommended that you allocate 20 minutes per scenario to ensure thorough engagement and learning. The estimated total course duration for physicians is 5 hours.

Course Certificate:
To receive a certificate of completion, participants must complete all cases allocated to their specialty.
