Molloy Named Blue Devil of the Week
Margie Molloy, assistant professor, was recently named Duke's Blue Devil of the Week in an article entitled "Blue Devil of the Week: Simulated Patients, Real Results" published by Working@Duke!
Molloy was nominated by Brigit Carter, associate dean for diversity and inclusion, for her exceptional teaching in the simulation setting.
In addition to teaching classes in her assistant professor role, Molloy has overseen the Center for Nursing Discovery, a hi-tech simulation laboratory, for the past 10 years. The center, which consisted of one small lab and a single sophisticated manikin, has now grown into a facility that covers a wing of the School of Nursing’s Pearson Building and has roughly a dozen life-like, interactive manikins – and an array of other training devices – that can allow nursing students to encounter wide range of clinical situations such as routine checkups, heart attacks and childbirth.
