How can audio/video recording enhance pharmacist training and preparation for the OSCE exam?
Our VALT audio/video system enables pharmacy students to practice and refine their skills in simulated clinical scenarios, mirroring the real-world situations they'll encounter on the OSCE exam and in their future careers. By capturing these training sessions on video, students and faculty can review and analyze performance in detail, identifying areas for improvement and facilitating targeted feedback.
What features does your audio/video system offer to streamline the recording process during fast-paced training sessions?
We understand the importance of efficiency in pharmacy simulation training. That's why our VALT audio/video system offers features like integration with student ID cards, enabling the rapid start and stop of recording. This allows quick transitions between sessions while ensuring each student's video is segmented correctly and securely. Additionally, our built-in scheduler lets you plan recordings or set up recurring schedules, automating the process and saving valuable time.
How can instructors provide real-time guidance and feedback to students during a simulation?
Our VALT audio/video system includes an optional "talkback" feature that allows instructors to coach and communicate with students in real-time. Instructors can observe and offer immediate feedback through the talkback system as students engage in simulated medication consultations or other clinical scenarios. This real-time guidance helps students refine their techniques, build confidence, and develop essential communication skills.
Can your audio/video recording system accommodate fixed and mobile simulation setups?
Our VALT system is designed to support fixed installations in clinical rooms and mobile setups using our BEAM mobile capture and streaming application. We offer a range of IP cameras for fixed setups, including pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) options, that can be strategically placed to capture multiple angles. With BEAM, you can easily record and stream pharmacy simulations from any location using a mobile device, providing flexibility and convenience for your training program.
How does your audio/video system ensure the security and privacy of recorded pharmacy simulations?
At IVS, we prioritize the security and privacy of your sensitive training data. Our VALT software support:
- Latest encryption
- Secure network architecture
- Comprehensive user rights management, and
- Robust authentication protocols to safeguard your video content.
Access to clinical sessions is restricted to authorized users with the necessary permissions, ensuring that confidential information remains protected. We are committed to providing a secure platform that meets the strict requirements of healthcare education.
What evidence supports the effectiveness of audio/video recording in pharmacy simulation training?
The impact of audio/video recording on pharmacy education is well-documented. For example, Dr. Teri Charrois, Clinical Associate Professor and supervisor of the University of Alberta pharmacy lab program, reported a remarkable two-point increase in student evaluations on a six-point scale after implementing the VALT system. Dr. Charrois attributes this success to the enhanced learning opportunities and skill development facilitated by video recording. By incorporating VALT into your pharmacy simulation program, you can expect similar gains in student performance and overall program effectiveness. You can find the case study here.
