The Simulation in Motion Nebraska trucks (SIM-NE) have set out from UNMC to travel Nebraska’s roads and help train personnel from rural emergency medical service agencies and rural critical access hospitals through high-tech simulation and real-life training experiences. <\/p>\n

That includes simulation training on drugs and medications. And that’s where the College of Pharmacy comes in.<\/p>\n

“I was approached by Brian Monaghan and Douglas Dekker because they needed mock drugs for both the ambulance side of the SIM-NE and for the emergency room side of the SIM-NE,” said Ally Dering-Anderson, Pharm.D., clinical associate professor of pharmacy practice. These would include drugs used for emergency treatment, and drugs that EMTs would find in a patient’s home in cases of drug interaction or overdose.<\/p>\n

“These are mostly injectable drugs used in emergencies,” Dr. Dering-Anderson said. “Here’s the catch — we don’t want to be injecting things into the SIM mannequins over and over or there may be a problem. So we decided to make only the containers, with no product inside.”<\/p>\n

But the same is true for “patient” drugs. “We can’t use candies as faux drugs, because there’s a risk they will be eaten!” said Dr. Dering-Anderson. She’s learned that one from experience.<\/p>\n

A lot of the work was done by former pharmacy student Michael Crowe, now a Class of 2017 Pharm.D. <\/p>\n

“Michael was on rotation with me during February,” Dr. Dering-Anderson said. “One of the assignments on my rotation is to complete a project that helps a public health entity. Michael chose the outreach work of the mobile SIM-NE program.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Crowe incorporated the SIM-NE logo on the “prescription” labels he made for drugs found in the patients’ homes. But it was about more than just making labels.<\/p>\n

“We identified 16 reasonably gender-neutral first names and built the drugs,” Dr. Dering-Anderson said. “Everything from Cialis to birth control pills, to antihypertensives to pain therapy. Each patient can be customized to be male or female and have any of a number of conditions including depression, diabetes, hypertension, pain.”<\/p>\n

And, OK, it also was a little about making labels. <\/p>\n

“I know pharmacists are sort of geeky about our labels,” Dr. Dering-Anderson said, “but I think they’re beautiful!”<\/p>\n

One last thing — Dr. Crowe thought to give each of these patients the hometown of “Helmsley, Neb.” The SIM-NE trucks are funded by a $5.5 million grant from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
