University of Barcelona

International ECMO Training Course

The Challenge

Delivering simulation during large educational courses presents unique demands: systems need to perform reliably, faculty need confidence in the setup, and the technology must support — not distract from — the learning experience.

Dr. Adrián Téllez Santoyo and his team at the University of Barcelona sought a simulation platform capable of supporting a high-level, hands-on ECMO education environment for a broad international trainee audience.

  • Preparing for a live course with multiple faculty and participants
  • Ensuring dependable simulator performance throughout
  • Delivering realistic ECMO training without technical disruptions

The Solution

CALIFIA® was incorporated directly into the in-person simulation sessions, with Biomed Simulation working closely alongside faculty in preparation to ensure full confidence before the event.

CALIFIA® supported the course through:

  • Reliable simulation performance throughout the event
  • Realistic, immersive ECMO-focused training scenarios
  • Pre-course faculty preparation and hands-on guidance
  • Scalable simulation delivery in a group learning environment
Your input was genuinely valuable and made a real difference in how prepared we felt going into the session.

The Impact

The course was delivered successfully with strong participant feedback and uninterrupted simulator performance. CALIFIA® proved its ability to scale to a high-visibility, large-group international event.

  • Positive feedback from both faculty and trainees
  • Smooth, uninterrupted execution during a live course
  • Increased faculty confidence in simulation delivery
  • Reinforcement of simulation as core to international ECMO education

Why CALIFIA®

  • Dependable performance in live, high-stakes course settings
  • Support for advanced, hands-on ECMO education at scale
  • Flexible enough to support faculty-led training for any group size
  • Pre-event partnership and preparation — not just a product
Everyone left with a great impression... I think there is a lot of potential for us to keep working together on training and simulation projects.
