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.
Simulation in Motion Montana led a tabletop exercise, and Jason Mahoney, the classroom program director, says, "We give them challenges and questions to work through what their plans are, but so much of this is based on how well entities can coordinate and communicate between themselves."
