USF
Health Professions Conferencing Corporation FY20 Year End Summary
Executive Director Message I wanted to take this opportunity to thank each of you, our local and global partners, valued clients and customers, USF Health students, staff and faculty, and our dedicated Board of Directors, who have supported our organization over the past 14 years. Without your partnership, we would not be positioned as one of the most advanced providers of experiential learning and continuing education in the nation and around the world. You have supported our commitment to excellence in learning, advancement of healthcare science and technology, and the pursuit of safe, high quality patient care. Thank you for continuing to entrust your training and education needs to our organization, especially during this global health crisis. The past fiscal year has had its share of triumphs and challenges. The first three quarters were filled with many “firsts�. The future was bright. We were in a strong growth mode with amazing innovation and new partnerships.
Haru Okuda, M.D. Executive Director,
USF Health Center for Advanced Medical Learning & Simulation
Assistant Vice President,
Office of Interprofessional Education and Practice
Then COVID-19 hit the nation. Our face-to-face training at both CAMLS and OCPD came to a standstill in March 2020. Without pause, our leadership team, with the support of USF Health Professions Conferencing Corporation (HPCC) Board of Directors, made the challenging decision to reduce capacity at CAMLS based on recommendations made by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in mid-March for the safety of our clients and learners. We prioritized people over dollars. Our business development and finance teams quickly communicated with our partners to work together to navigate the uncharted COVID-19 waters, for mutual benefit and safety. This was when I witnessed the strength and commitment of our partners, as well as the bravery, kindness, ingenuity, dedication, and the true grit of our staff, faculty, and learners. Thankfully, our USF Health Office of Continuing Professional Development continued to rally, thrive and grow their lines of business in accreditation of online and distance learning programs.
It was during this time that our CAMLS simulation team was asked by our partners at Tampa General Hospital, to help protect our front-line healthcare workers, through the development and delivery of on-site simulation-based COVID-19 resuscitation training. To prepare CAMLS for safe face-to-face training activities, our operations and business development teams were busy researching best practices and scientific-based evidence, through our newly created Communicable Diseases Advisory Committee. We knew that while there were many restrictions placed by local and state government for face-to-face meetings, we would need to start preparing our new physician workforce, our interns and our residents, to start July 1st, to make sure they were optimally prepared to care for patients. We anticipate 2021 will be another year of triumphs and challenges as we continue to write history together, during this global pandemic. Future generations will read about the organizations and leaders who made both good and bad decisions. I am confident that HPCC, with the efforts of CAMLS and OCPD, will continue to successfully achieve our mission and vision. We will provide experiential learning that improves clinical skills and patient care in our community and around the globe over the coming year. Our success will be achievable because of the determination and character of the staff and leadership who make up our organization, as well as our entrusted clients and partners. Thank you again for your continued loyalty, confidence, and support.
Mission To create and provide experiential learning that improves clinical skills and patient care in our community and around the globe. Vision Improving healthcare through lifelong education and training.

Inter-agency Collaboration/In Situ
Federal Coordinating Center Medical Emergency Evacuation Exercise “Exercise Patriot South 20” through the Federal Coordination Center, run by the James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital. FCCs are locations that can be activated and receive patients when there is a presidential disaster declaration, and TGH has traditionally been one of the partner hospitals. FCCs are required to drill with the various organizations and agencies once every 3 years and this year, USF Health CAMLS was asked to support the high- fidelity manikin component of the program. For this drill, our simulation started in “Mississippi” as part of a simulated hurricane evacuation, with a “patient” who had suffered blast and smoke inhalation. Our patient, along with 30 others landed at TIA on a C-19 Cargo Aircraft operated by the Florida Air National Guard and was evacuated to the hangar for triage and intervention. Our simulated patient developed a tension pneumothorax during the flight (collapsed lung), which was then decompressed with a needle by the receiving physician, and transported to TGH by ambulance. In the ambulance, the patient deteriorated and a temporary airway was placed by the paramedic, and ultimately handed off to the doctors and nurses from TGH, who rescued him with a definitive airway. This was the first time that a drill has been performed with a high-fidelity manikin traveling between two airports, a hanger and an ambulance before reaching their final destination, a level 1 trauma center.

#CAMLSWITH
The Disaster Management Training program brought together an interprofessional group of clinical providers from around the world to learn best practices in the initial response and management of injured victims of disasters. The program was a collaboration between CAMLS and a major academic center in the northeast. CAMLS provided simulation-based expertise with standardized patients, moulage and programming. CAMLS ran high-fidelity simulations, as well as conference management expertise, coordinating activities for hundreds of learners. This was the inaugural implementation of our CAMLS Without Walls program at a non-training/non-clinical facility. The CAMLS team was responsible for the logistics of delivering and implementing simulation off site combined with training on site at CAMLS. The program occurred over a 4-week period and was extremely successful. Learners felt that they were better prepared to care for their peers and patients in the future. One learner stated that they were “positively emotionally affected” by the training because “it felt so real”.

On November 13, 2019, USF Health hosted the second annual IPEP Day. The focus for the one-day symposium was on interprofessional responses to the opioid crisis. To a capacity crowd in the USF Marshall Student Center’s Oval Theatre, experts and advocates from across the region offered insight on the impact opioids have on our communities and how healthcare teams can work together to offer better identification, better treatment and better outcomes. The CAMLS team provided instructional design and logistical support for this extremely successful event.
Working together effectively in today’s health care system starts with learning together. Over 800 participants attended the morning session with diverse representation from 8 academic programs, city leadership, and numerous community organizations. HPCC’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD) team provided academic support services to ensure that participants received continuing education (CE) credits. Dr. Okuda facilitated the afternoon, invitation-only session, which introduced a systems-level, critical thinking activity to over 100 students. CAMLS’ instructional designer and psychometrician developed a unique assessment technique which included pre & post confidence testing combined with a specialized rubric to evaluate our dynamic, systems-mapping activity.

USF Health CAMLS has trained healthcare providers on the proper care of COVID-19 patients. Through the development of simulation programs, USF Health CAMLS has provided Just-in-Time training to give nurses and physicians the increased confidence and competence needed to deliver care in a safe and effective manner. In turn, this training, helps USF Health CAMLS continue to support our mission to create and provide experiential learning that improves clinical skills and patient care in our community and around the globe. In March, little was known about the virus so the Just-in-Time training had to be developed to care for sick COVID-19 positive patients and delivered on site. When CAMLS leadership asked for volunteers from our staff to go into the hospital to help frontline providers and healthcare teams, putting themselves at increased risk, many hands went up. Over the course of 12 weeks, our CAMLS team was able to help train over 500 frontline providers at TGH to ensure their safety and confidence so they could deliver the best possible care to the patients and families they serve.
