New Research in the medical simulation center at BGU
We are seeking graduate students (MHA, MPH, Ph.D, MD-PhD) that are interested in doing their research at the simulation center in the following areas:
The effect of patient's age on clinical decision making at pre-hospital care
This proposed research will focus on investigating the impact of a patient's age on clinical decision making, examining retrospective quantitative data to quantify this bias and recommend interventions that can enhance the quality of clinical decisions.
EMS (ambulance) transport method effects on timely care
What are the elements that affect the time it takes a team in pre hospital to get from the parking to the patient, and how we can shorten this time.
Patient medical condition classification
What are the factors that affect the way paramedics determine patient medical condition classification that is determined by the 101 call taker and the classification by the paramedic that arrives at the scene.
How a 101 call taker understands the patient condition and the scene
What are the differences between the information a call taker receives / processes from a phone call compared to a video call?
Some of the studies are funded and eligible students will receive scholarships to sponsor their studies.
