    Society for Simulation in Healthcare: SIM Center Directory

    Simulation education is a bridge between classroom learning and real-life clinical experience. Novices – and patients - may learn how to do injections by practicing on an orange with a real needle and syringe. Much more complex simulation exercises – similar to aviation curricula that provided the basis for healthcare – may rely on computerized mannequins that perform dozens of human functions realistically in a healthcare setting such as an operating room or critical care unit that is indistinguishable from the real thing. Whether training in a “full mission environment” or working with a desk top virtual reality machine that copies the features of a risky procedure, training simulations do not put actual patients at risk. Healthcare workers are subject to unique risks in real settings too, from such things as infected needles, knife blades and other sharps as well as electrical equipment, and they are also protected during simulations that allow them to perfect their craft.

  • Teresa Woodruff, PhD

    ABOUT

    Teresa K. Woodruff, Ph.D., is the MSU Research Foundation Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Biology and Biomedical Engineering. She is an MSU Foundation Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology, and the Department of Biomedical Engineering.

    As a leading research scientist, Woodruff was awarded the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science Mentoring by President Obama in an oval office ceremony in 2011. Most recently, Woodruff was a recipient of the Endocrine Society’s 2021 Laureate Award, a top honor that recognizes the highest achievements in the field of endocrinology. She holds 13 U.S. Patents and is an elected fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2020), the National Academy of Medicine (2018), the National Academy of Inventors (2018), the American Institute for Medical and Biomedical Engineers (2017), and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2006).

    Woodruff earned her Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Cell Biology from Northwestern University and holds a B.S. in Zoology and Chemistry from Olivet Nazarene University.

    RESEARCH

    Dr. Woodruff is an internationally recognized expert in ovarian biology and reproductive science. In 2006, she coined the term “oncofertility” to describe the merging of two fields: oncology and fertility. In addition, she championed the new National Institutes of Health (NIH) policy mandating the use of females in fundamental research.

    Register for "The Science of Endometriosis" Virtual Event, July 11
     
    Please join MIT's Center for Gynepathology Research (CGR) on Sunday, July 11, 2021, 4 to 5 p.m. (ET), to kick off the virtual series, “The Science of Endometriosis.” MIT’s Linda Griffith and Michigan State University’s Stacey Missmer will lead a lively discussion titled Endometriosis 101 – Clinical Studies. They'll answer questions including, "Why aren’t there more clinical studies, and why don’t we know more about endometriosis?"  They’ll also answer selected questions sent by registered attendees.

  • The W.O.R.K. Study is closed to enrollment. A huge THANK YOU to all who have made this study possible, especially those who have joined to share their experiences with pain.

    OUR GOALS are to:

    • Learn from the 1,000+ girls and young women who are participating in our study.
    • Work together so that we can make a difference in women’s health!
    • Talk about menstrual health!

    Exploring a variety of topics that girls and young women don’t often talk about, such as period pain and pelvic pain.

  • Welcome to the Upper Peninsula Campus of the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine!

    W. Donald Weston, M.D., former Dean of the MSU-CHM, believed doctors could be trained in a remote area like the Upper Peninsula, but only with the support and effort of the people of the area. With a shortage of physicians interested in rural primary care, the best way to recruit and retain physicians was to reach those individuals who were from a small-town, rural environment and were interested in medicine. These individuals could train and ultimately practice in a rural area.

    The Upper Peninsula Health Education Corporation (UPHEC) was created in partnership with Michigan State University and is one of seven community campuses located throughout the state. We are a small community campus providing personal, individualized training to, and we are considered the one of the rural primary care program of Michigan State University.

  • A large, prospective study found that women with endometriosis may have a higher risk of stroke compared to women without the chronic inflammatory condition, according to new research published today in Stroke, the peer-reviewed flagship journal of the American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association.

    Endometriosis (abnormal growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus) is estimated to affect approximately 10% of reproductive aged women in the U.S., according to study authors. Previous research found that women with endometriosis are at greater risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
