"...These illness and injury effects are applied to training manikins or simulated or standardized patients for training or other purposes. Simulation staff attend training to learn these techniques. It is argued that the use of moulage in simulation improves realism or participant buy-in.

In Portland NET, moulage adds realism to exercises, desensitizes reactions to wounds, encourages decision-making during triage, and provides productive stress.

If you are volunteering as a Survivor, thank you! '''Your presence as a Survivor will help save lives by increasing the level of realism for emergency responders.''' Exercises that offer the same stressors and lifelike elements are valuable in assisting responders when called upon in real emergencies. | |||
'''This is also an excellent training opportunity for you.''' You will experience rescue and medical treatment from the patient's perspective, which will make you a better responder. For this reason, PBEM makes a shift as a Survivor part of the [[NET Task Book]] and creditable as Advanced Training for a NET's [[Minimum Service Contribution]]. | |||
'''An important note: as a Survivor, you are encouraged to get moulaged but it is not usually required''' for participation. Not everyone is into getting made up, and that's OK. | |||
