Center For Public Health PreparednessBurlington County College, with 16 human patient simulators, has the most outside the US Military. These units are completely mobile and can be taken just about anywhere for training. MissionTo increase the competency of frontline public health workers to respond to all hazards events through the use of simulation training in both the classroom and in the field. A trained public health workforce and an educated community is the first line of defense against threats to public welfare. Areas of UseHAZMAT AudienceAll public health workers Facilities The Simulation Center at BCC is located on both the Mount Laurel and Pemberton campuses. The Center is equipped with 14 beds and 14 patient simulators. The The Pemberton laboratory has two adult, a pediatric, and an infant simulator used to train student nurses in patient care during real-time scenarios. Participants will work with state of the art ER equipment and medical supplies. The Virtual ER is the ideal environment for real-time training with an all-hazard scenario. Patient SimulationThe use of high fidelity human mannequins allows trainees to conduct basic patient assessments and perform interventions such as CPR, drug delivery, defibrillation , and wound care. Simulators can breathe, bleed, blink, speak, register pulses, respond to light stimuli and register distinctive physiological responses such as heart and lung sounds. “Patients” can simulate biological, chemical ,nuclear and radiological exposures as well as traumatic injuries through the use of moulage. Computer Simulation The Simulation Lab runs a state-of-the-art navigable computer environment for training in incident response. Multiple vantage points networked to one server allows trainees to test critical thinking and decision making as a real time event unfolds before them in the lab. Incident command training, criminal investigation follow-up, fire inspection training and EMT response can benefit from the technology. Traditional Classroom A 1,500 square foot classroom with 24 desktop computers and 24 wireless laptops containing all of the software used by the Center allows trainers to conduct full length courses, planning meetings for field scenario development, presentations with video, DVD and computer projections on a 42-inch plasma TV screen.
The mobile learning Lab is a 30 foot trailer equipped with three human patient simulators, medical supplies and a plasma TV for demonstration and instruction. During field drills it can be used as a command post. Mobile Decontamination SystemAble to be set up in a minimum of time, our decon system can be utilized in the field or at hospitals for training. Self contained, it is fully equipped and can train large numbers of responders at one site. SimOneA Type 3 unit formerly used by fire and For More Information:
