The 2023 Annual Facility Tour hosted by SLUHN 3d Print & Innovation Lab

This event is open for members and non-members, faculty, staff, and students.

ABSTRACT & ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Megan Augustine is the Director of the Network Simulation Center and 3d Print Innovation Lab for St. Luke’s University Health Network, located in Bethlehem PA. ​

Megan oversees the planning, implantation, and evaluation of simulation-based and skill based educational programs for medical students, nursing students, residents, physicians, nursing staff, and pre-hospital professionals. ​

Megan has over 10 years of experience working in simulation in a variety of settings. Prior to St. Luke’s, Megan has had the opportunity to travel throughout the US and Canada implementing simulation centers in hospitals, medical schools and nursing schools. ​
​
Megan also oversees the 3d Print & Innovation Lab which is dedicated to improving the quality of care and patient safety through innovation, research and design.

Since 2017 Megan and her team have saved the Network over $175k creating and developing customized task trainers, anatomical models for simulation education as well as educational tools, prototypes and miscellaneous medical devices. ​

Inside the 3d Print and Innovation Lab, is the “Cauldron.” A collaborative “think tank” that Megan created where health care workers, faculty, students, and entrepreneurs come together to make a difference in health care and medicine. The diversity of thoughts, ideas, and experiences that each person brings results in innovative brainstorming and group problem-solving.

The Cauldron's mission is to collaborate and share ideas, insights and experiences to help drive and transform health care to new levels, across in-patient and out-patient worlds, as well as our underserved patient communities.

Our goal is to advocate, elevate and empower YOU to design, discover, translate ideas to into a reality.
