Texas Wesleyan’s Simulation Symposium preps nurse anesthesia students for high-stakes clinical challenges
Texas Wesleyan University hosted its annual Simulation Symposium for second-year nurse anesthesia residents. The event, held across four buildings, offered a unique opportunity for students to tackle low-occurring, high-risk situations in a safe, controlled environment before their clinical rotations.
The symposium, which has grown in size to accommodate more than a dozen stations, featured state-of-the-art mannequins and ultrasound equipment. Students also had the chance to practice on cadavers with artificial pulses, thanks to Maverick Medical Education. This hands-on experience helped bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world clinical practice.
Certified registered nurse anesthetists and third-year students, such as Kylee Holden, provided guidance to the second-year residents. Holden, who found the symposium valuable before her clinicals at JPS Health Network, praised the event for its realism and relevance. Around 20 industry sponsors attended, allowing students to connect with company representatives early in their training.
The Fort Worth school's nursing anesthesia program, the largest in the nation, continues to innovate with its annual Simulation Symposium. By providing a realistic, safe learning environment, Texas Wesleyan ensures its students are well-prepared to 'hit the ground running' in clinical settings, as noted by industry sponsors.
