On-Demand Telesimulation™ – Distance Learning in Maternal-child Care
For the first time, health care professionals and trainees can schedule a one-on-one telesimulation at anytime, from any device, and in any location though the On-Demand Telesimulation™ Lactation QBank. Through this platform, learners engage with standardized patients in various case scenarios related to clinical lactation, pediatrics, and reproductive, mental, and women’s health.
The standardized patients wear a LiquidGoldConcept Lactation Simulation Model so that healthcare professionals and trainees can practice performing a breast assessment and teach the patient how to express milk, massage the breast to alleviate engorgement, and position and attach a newborn.

“As an instructor, [the On-Demand Telesimulation™ Lactation QBank platform] was a huge gift to us. We were struggling to figure out how to get students engaged in care for breastfeeding patients. We've had two significant barriers so far. One is that we don't have a huge volume in our lactation consult clinics right now. So even if every student had only seen one patient, we probably could not have pulled that off. The second was because of COVID-19, the hospital we work at had restrictions on access to patient care.” - Julie Phillips, MD, MPH Professor of Family Medicine, Director of Research for the Sparrow Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program |

“With the Lactation Simulation Model, I know we will be able to equip new mothers and caregivers with the knowledge to confidently identify breastfeeding complications such as mastitis and engorgement and gain the hands-on skills needed to hand express and manage common breastfeeding problems.”
