The following virtual simulation promotes the application of knowledge required to perform manual susceptibilities in a medical microbiology laboratory.
Learning Objectives:
Select appropriate media and environment for manual susceptibilities on select microorganisms.
Perform manual antimicrobial susceptibility analysis.
Troubleshoot procedural errors in manual antimicrobial susceptibility setup.
Simulation Modality:
Virtual gaming simulation / virtual patientEvalution/Validation:
This simulation’s scenario and script were formally peer-reviewed by two external institutions, then the final simulation was pilot tested by several students on a student testing committee then as part of the Virtu-WIL Student Program’s rollout.
