Simulation in Motion Montana (SIM-MT) was featured in the Glasgow Courier for bringing hands-on simulation training to Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital. This training helped strengthen emergency care for healthcare teams across Valley County.
Earlier this month, our team at Simulation in Motion Montana (SIM-MT) was proud to participate in the HEADS UP Behavioral Health Camp at Carroll College—a powerful program designed to equip Montana teens with the tools to recognize and respond to mental health emergencies. KTVH News captured the heart of this event, highlighting how hands-on simulation, including our manikin Ares, helped students learn how to administer Narcan, recognize signs of overdose, and support peers through mental health crises. We’re honored to be part of this critical work—and even more excited to see it making headlines.
To better prepare rural healthcare providers for life-threatening emergencies, a Montana nonprofit is using high-tech medical simulators to bring hands-on training directly to smaller communities like Hardin.
Local medical professionals participate in pediatric trauma simulation
Medical students, paramedics and other first responders in training gathered for some hands-on simulations at the Missoula County Fairgrounds on Wednesday. Organizations set up stations at the fairgrounds for trauma, cardiac arrest, and mass casualty scenarios to prepare first responder trainees for emergency situations. At one of the stations, a team worked through a cardiac arrest simulation with a mannequin named Bill, through a program called Simulation in Motion Montana.

Simulation in Motion Montana (SIM-MT) returned to Salish Kootenai College (SKC) for its final simulation session of the academic year with Junior nursing students. This culminating experience focused on one of the most challenging topics in healthcare geriatric death and dying and gave students the opportunity to practice difficult but essential conversations with patients and family members.
