Simulation in Motion Montana (SIM-MT) was featured in the Miles City Star after our visit with high school students in the MedStart program at Miles Community College.

Instead of learning only from lectures or textbooks, students stepped into realistic healthcare scenarios. They practiced responding in time sensitive situations, working as a team and communicating clearly with patients and other healthcare professionals.

Simulation gives learners a safe place to practice before it's real. Students can make decisions, see the results of their actions and reflect on what went well and what could be better, all without risk to a real patient. For young people thinking about a future in healthcare, that kind of experience builds confidence and critical thinking early.

Sara Kaull, CEO of SIM-MT, said bringing this training straight to students in rural communities is essential. "It gives young people a clearer picture of what healthcare work looks like, while also helping them develop the communication, teamwork, and problem solving skills that every patient deserves."

Thank you to Miles Community College and the MedStart program for welcoming us, and to the Miles City Star for sharing the story with the community.
