Corsmed

“"Corsmed has massively improved our programme and simulation structure compared to previously."”

“"I've found Corsmed to be quite easy to pick up. We have always had positive feedback from the students that they found it simple to use and user-friendly. It's been quite easy to incorporate into our simulation days."”

“"Many students actually go straight from graduation to specialise in more advanced roles, such as MRI and CT."”

“"Corsmed has shown them a new potential direction for their career. Our students now better understand the different imaging modalities they can pursue."”

“"The standards of proficiency have changed. There's an expectation now for radiographers to have MRI or CT experience and be competent with basic scans. Corsmed has helped students achieve that in a more equitable way. When our graduates go into their first job, they’re ready to perform."”

“"Corsmed has grown our students’ confidence. Students now get to scan a variety of anatomical areas, and this has increased their engagement and interest in MRI."”

“"One student was really struggling with MRI, particularly on clinical placement. They came into the simulation session quite apprehensive, thinking they would never understand the concepts. After using Corsmed, they left having grasped and understood the concept. They found the software really easy to use, and it helped them gain knowledge and skills they could apply in their clinical placement."”

“"We have had feedback from students saying Corsmed lets them practice in a safe environment, an unpressurised environment. They feel that they're able to make mistakes in a safe, controlled way that encourages them to reflect and increases their learning experience."”

“"Corsmed has definitely been a selling point for our radiography program, and it does attract new students in our recruitment and marketing process.””

“"Now that we have Corsmed, it's given students practical skills and a broader experience of how to scan with a wide variety of anatomies and procedures, whereas before they previously didn't have that experience."”

“"We were struggling to ensure that all our students had an equitable experience of MRI. But after our simulation days when we used Corsmed, they said it totally changed their outlook. They now feel they have a deeper understanding of how to get good images and scan effectively." – Sarah Cutler”

“"The simulator lets them see the consequences of their actions and how they affect the images or scan. It has helped them understand the safety aspects of MRI much better as well."”

“"We incorporate Corsmed into our simulation days, which make up part of the placement hours. These are full days supported by MRI clinicians. This has had a huge impact on student confidence, and much of it stems from Corsmed."”

““Corsmed has really helped us level the playing field. Even with the large cohort of students we teach, we can now ensure they all get the same opportunity to excel.””

“"We were struggling to ensure that all our students had an equitable experience of MRI. Depending on the hospital placement, students would get vastly different hands-on experience with MRI."”

“"Corsmed has been a transformation! It’s definitely made our students more competent for their first job roles."”

“Students get access to Corsmed in their first week of the program. They start using it to practice changing parameters and really learn what that means from the very beginning. They learn in a really authentic and integrated way from the start.”

“Students show up to clinical comfortable with scanning workflow. Clinical supervisors often tell us how impressed they are with the skills of our students.”

“I had a competency test coming up and asked if I could access Corsmed to practice my angles. Just that one day of practice helped tremendously. It gave me the confidence I needed.”

“We have 100% employment rate and 100% pass rate in most years on the national certification exam.”

“We do a full workflow simulation at the end of the second semester. Students talk to radiologists, screen patients, position them in our mock scanner, and then scan with Corsmed. We couldn't do it without Corsmed.”

“Students can experiment and see how changing parameters impacts the image and truly understand and apply what they're learning from textbooks and class.”

“Students can use Corsmed for advanced scans before clinical. This creates amazing opportunities to learn about cardiac, contrast, and pathologies through advanced scans they won't see much even after completing a 15-week clinical placement.”

“Sometimes, if a student doesn't see cardiac imaging or TMJ imaging during clinical, we can supplement that experience with Corsmed simulation labs. The ability for them to have hands-on practice with all of the less common exams is phenomenal.”

“Anytime during clinical when I wasn't feeling confident about a scan, I would go home and practice that protocol over and over on Corsmed. The next day, I could perform it confidently on real patients.”
