Improving outcomes starts long before the moment of care.

As healthcare continues to evolve, training must evolve with it. Preparing for complex and unpredictable situations takes more than just learning a skill. It requires opportunities to practice, build competence over time, and develop confidence before those skills are needed.

For airway management, that means moving beyond ideal training conditions and creating opportunities to practice the complexity clinicians encounter in patient care.

At the 2026 NAEMSE Symposium, we’re demonstrating how the Laerdal Advanced Airway Solution (LAAS) introduces greater variability and realism into airway management training, allowing learners to practice clinical decision-making and technical skills across a range of airway scenarios.

It’s one example of what we’re exploring at NAEMSE this week as we consider how training can continue to evolve to help healthcare professionals respond with competence and confidence.

We know that effective feedback can be a powerful tool for learning. But giving good feedback is only part of the equation.

For feedback to lead to meaningful improvement, learners also need the skills to receive it, make sense of it, and decide what to do next.

Developing those skills can help learners take a more active role in their own growth and build competence over time.

How can educators help learners become better equipped to use the feedback they receive?

Every life-saving response has a starting point. For EMS professionals, that journey begins long before the first emergency.

That’s why we’re proud to support EMS education through a new statewide agreement with North Carolina Community College System. By expanding access to simulation and training solutions across 58 community colleges, this partnership will help future EMS professionals build the confidence, clinical judgment, and hands-on experience they’ll need to care for patients and communities across North Carolina.

Preparing the future EMS workforce starts with giving learners the opportunity to practice before they’re needed most.

Today marks an exciting milestone as our team begins moving into Laerdal’s new headquarters in Stavanger, Norway.

The building reflects years of work to reduce environmental impact through preservation, reuse, and thoughtful renovation rather than starting over. It’s an approach that aligns with our broader commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions across our operations.

Helping save lives means thinking beyond the products we develop. It also means considering how we use resources, work with our communities, and build for the future.

Projects like this are part of the broader commitment outlined in our 2026 Sustainability Report, which shares more about the progress we’re making and the work still ahead.

Artificial intelligence is creating new opportunities across healthcare simulation, but its greatest value comes when it's used with intention.

As AI becomes part of more simulation programs, thoughtful implementation matters. Used intentionally, AI can help streamline workflows and support educators while remaining aligned with the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice™.

We've brought together 15 expert recommendations for thoughtfully integrating AI into healthcare simulation. Read the full article in the comments. 👇

Congratulations to American Heart Association and FIFA on achieving the largest public Hands-Only CPR engagement in the Nation of Lifesavers Mobile CPR Unit’s history, with more than 800,000 CPR training compressions practiced by fans at FIFA World Cup fan festivals.

This milestone reflects the impact of making lifesaving education accessible in places where people already gather. Every opportunity to practice CPR helps build confidence and preparedness in our communities. ❤️

We're proud to support the American Heart Association and FIFA in helping football fans gain the confidence and skills to act in a cardiac emergency. So far, more than 7,000 people have been trained in hands-only CPR at FIFA World Cup Fan Festivals in Dallas, Philadelphia, and Atlanta.

Every person trained is one more person prepared to recognize cardiac arrest and take action. We look forward to seeing that number continue to grow throughout the tournament.

How do you deliver realistic emergency care training without a dedicated simulation space?

Designed for flexibility, the Emergency Care Learning Lab brings 35 essential emergency care skills into one portable solution, supporting adult and pediatric training across a wide range of emergency care scenarios.

Let’s take a tour of what’s inside. 👀

During childbirth, the perineal body expands significantly, increasing in size by up to 65%.

Creating simulated materials that mimic the stretch and resilience of human tissue is no easy task.

That’s why MamaAnne, our high-fidelity obstetric simulator, undergoes rigorous testing designed to help reflect the realities of childbirth as closely as possible.

In this video, you can see testing focused on the stretchability and durability of the material used to create MamaAnne’s perineal tissue.
