Funded in part through a grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration, the new simulation vans will be based in Minot and Grand Forks\/Fargo, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe heard the need from our communities that they needed more access to our education out west,\u201d said Operations Director of the\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/med.und.edu\/education-training\/simulation-center\/index.html\" href=\"https:\/\/med.und.edu\/education-training\/simulation-center\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"2\"><b>SMHS Simulation Center<\/b><\/a>, Jessi Nicola. \u201cMinot was just the right place to be.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To that end, SIM-ND also hired two new staff who will be based in Minot and serve the western half of North Dakota.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe people reaching out to us are rural EMS people, plus the oil and gas EMS substations, critical access hospitals, and rural fire departments,\u201d said Tawni Harvala, RN, SIM-ND Operations Manager. \u201cThose groups have been calling us \u2013 and we\u2019ve been trying our hardest to get to them \u2013 since 2023. So we decided to make these Minot positions full-time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/med.und.edu\/about\/communications-engagement\/quick-scans.html\"><span data-contrast=\"none\"><strong>See the sprinter vans in action<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Size matters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The SIM-ND team was founded in 2011 when North Dakota\u2019s largest medical simulation center used a Helmsley Charitable Trust grant to purchase four massive semi-trucks that double as mobile hospital simulators. The trucks\u2019 purpose was to allow the UND-based medical simulation team to get off campus and into communities across North Dakota.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The challenge with that model, Harvala continued, is that for as amazing as the trucks have been, they not only require a commercial driver\u2019s license (CDL) to operate but tend to go through a lot of fuel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In other words, they can be too big at times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe trucks have a couple limitations that the vans can supplement,\u201d said Harvala. \u201cPlus, there are a few different limitations with weather.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Meaning, Harvala said, the sprinter vans are easier to keep both warm and cool in North Dakota\u2019s extreme temperatures than are the large semi-trucks. They can also go places the trucks cannot, making them more adaptable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe\u2019re still offering the same education opportunities as the trucks, but we tailor it to the learner, whether we\u2019re teaching in an oil field or going to an ER, or whether were training doctors and nurses in a large facility or going to a critical access hospital, where they might only have a nurse practitioner and a CNA on-call,\u201d said Harvala. \u201cEach facility has different needs and different models of care, so we have to adapt, which the vans help us do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">All of that said, Harvala stressed that the vans can\u2019t simply replace the trucks \u2013 and that the larger trucks aren\u2019t going away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cIf we have a big group, they fit better in the trucks,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Keeping the engine running<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">New vans notwithstanding, SIM-ND has faced a more complex financial road since 2020. Originally established with the aid of North Dakota Health and Human Services, UND, and healthcare systems across the state, support from health providers and the state waned after the COVID-19 pandemic forced state officials and some healthcare administrators to direct their resources away from medical simulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This remains a challenge for the traveling simulation team insofar as each educational event SIM-ND puts on for rural EMS providers or critical access hospitals costs thousands of dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cDepending on the location, equipment, and staffing required, the average cost to deliver a simulation education event ranges from approximately $2,000-5,000,\u201d said Harvala, who\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">hopes to keep SIM-ND services accessible and affordable for rural providers<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. \u201cOur services have never been intended to generate profit, and we\u2019ve always operated with a service mindset.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And because accidents, emergencies, and natural disasters, are not going to stop in North Dakota, first responders, critical access hospitals, and North Dakota National Guardsmen need to be trained \u2013 and trained some more \u2013 in responding to health emergencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Training such groups is the SIM-ND mission. And with new equipment and new staff based in Minot, the team can reach a lot more rural agencies a lot faster.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Dakota\u2019s only mobile medical simulation program, UND\u2019s\u00a0Simulation In Motion-North Dakota (SIM-ND), is coming to a community near you.
