Part-Time Opportunity: Seattle Children's Hospital Simulation Cart Design
Seattle Children's Hospital Simulation Program is currently looking for an individual to digitally construct a mobile simulation training cart system.
Position Purpose:
Collaborate in the design specifications and development of a new mobile simulation cart system concept.
Essential Function:
Utilizing computer software (CAD), convert a prototype design made of wood into a digital plan ready for metal fabrication.
Requirements:
This person should have a broad knowledge of CAD engineering software. This person should understand the workflow process of moving a concept design to manufacturing.
The mobile simulation cart system (Sim-Smart Cart) will provide most of the functionality of a stationary simulation center in a compact vehicle easily maneuvered to and from site-of care training locations.
This combination platform will consists of all of the following amenities and features in one single unit:
1. *Custom built cart. Easy maneuverability within hospital standards. Space for all components and supplies.
2. *Curtain barrier between trainee, sim-tech and facilitator helps to prevent distractions during training.
3. Full audio & video recording and playback capability with multiple remote and attached camera and microphone rig system.
4. Simulator (either neonatal, pediatric, youth or adult manikin(s). (System is adaptable with most mid to high fidelity patient simulators - for demonstration purposes, the Laerdal SimBaby is used).
5. Real-time A/V capture & simulator data record for onsite and remote web access.
6. Real-time data playback for debriefing or post review.
7. Export data to any codec or storage device.
8. Supplies and materials for education and training sessions.
For more information, please contact:

Univ. of Washington Study Abroad Fair--Wed, Oct 27, 2010
Greetings from Seattle! On Wednesday, October 27, 2010, the University of
Washington will host its annual Study Abroad Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Last year, more than 1200 students attended the event and we expect an
equal, if not larger, student turnout this year.
We hope that you will accept our invitation to participate in this year's
Study Abroad Fair. The fair presents a wonderful opportunity to showcase
your international educational opportunities to the UW's community of
students, faculty and staff and to highlight our cooperative relationship.
For our overseas partners, Seattle is a convenient destination or transfer
point. Given this, your participation in our fair might coordinate well with
US travel plans already in place or currently under consideration.
To register for the fair, please use the web address below and complete the
registration form by October 1, 2010:
https://catalysttools.washington.edu/webq/survey/cfrisch/40518
Fair participants outside of the University of Washington (and who do not
have a UW NetID) will select the ProtectNetwork option to create a user name
and password. You will then be able to submit the registration for the
fair.
Once your registration form is complete, additional details about the fair
will be emailed to you. We hope to see you in October.
