[Ep21] Have you ever heard of a Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU)? When time is critical for helping restore a patient back to their normal - like during a suspected stroke - a MSU can cut down on the time needed to not only identify the stroke, but also treat it.

In this episode we talk with Corbin Willis, a Physician Assistant at Riverside Methodist Hospital who specializes in acute stroke care. He also happens to work on the Mobile Stroke Treatment Unit (MSTU) in the Columbus, Ohio area.

Some of the topics we'll cover are:

• What's the local history of the MSTU?
• Who all staffs a vehicle like this?
• How is the MSTU dispatched?
• What are the treatment options once the MSTU arrives?
• What were some of the challenges of starting a mobile stroke unit?
• What are some of the current trends with wakeup strokes?
• Are there any future changes coming to the current MSTU in Columbus?
• And more!

[Ep20] For the people working behind-the-scenes in medical education - specifically in the simulation specialty - they are frequently demonstrating the utility and value of simulation to help learners apply their knowledge in a safe and controlled environment. BUT - it can be challenging at times to also remember that simulation is NOT always the best option to resolve your medical education needs.

This is the final episode in a special three part series on recognizing when simulation may not be the most appropriate solution. Join us as we talk with Daniel Abbey (MSN, RN, EMT-P), the Regional Director at the Center for Innovative Learning within the Mount Carmel Health System in Columbus, Ohio. We dig into how he processes education requests - tips to help educators remain comfortable during those early sim conversations - and more - on this episode of High-Fidelity Conversations!
