Creating and managing realistic patient simulations is not an easy task.  EMS educators have a lot on their plate -- from designing the scenario to training facilitators to choosing the equipment to avoiding training scars.  What are best practices? We asked simulation gurus Brittany Prater, Director of Alabama EMS Region One and Robby May, ALS Education Specialist at Howard County Department of Fire and Rescue.  Listen as Rob, Maia and Hilary ask about the tricks of the trade and learn how to make your simulations prepare students for the real world.
