In this simulation, learners will encounter three patient scenarios that require adapting communication strategies. These scenarios are often experienced in the clinical setting by sonographers, and we hope to provide you with communication strategies that you can apply to similar challenging situations. The three scenarios are as follows: 1. De-escalating a frustrated patient, 2. Responding […]

In this simulation, learners will assess verbal and non-verbal aspects of patient communication throughout the patient intake, procedure explanation, medical history interview, and during the cardiac ultrasound exam. This simulation is intended to guide future sonographers in effective communication to ensure patients are informed and therefore better positioned to provide consent for the cardiac ultrasound […]

This simulation has been designed to focus on opportunities for learning. During the game, you will take on the role of Karley, a newly graduated sonographer. Embedded in your interaction with an obstetrical patient, will be a selection of 3 potential responses or decision points. How you respond will determine how your interaction unfolds. You […]
