UToledo's Medicaid care experience simulation
The Medicaid Care Experience Simulation (MCarES) project at the University of Toledo advances health equity for the Medicaid population by addressing cultural competency and awareness of implicit bias through interactive simulation-based trainings.
The simulations are designed to facilitate engagement between healthcare professionals and individuals facing challenges via an interactive learning experience. The simulations highlight scenarios that address Elder Abuse and Intimate Partner Violence in the context of social determinants of health. They are customized toward healthcare providers who serve Medicaid and other underserved populations.
This training tool will enhance an individual’s awareness and understanding the impact social determinants of health have on vulnerable members of society.
Upon completion of all two (2) simulations, participants will receive one (1) continuing medical education (CME) credit or cultural competency certificate for those that may not qualify for receiving CME credit.
The MEDICAID CARE EXPERIENCE SIMULATION Project is funded by the Ohio Department of Medicaid and administered by the Ohio Colleges of Medicine Government Resource Center.
