Build Your Own PAC // Field Guide

Bring PAC to your people.

A PACscape is a portable learning environment: poster-scale visual anchors, a connected digital curriculum, deliberate practice, and a human coach. Use this guide to build one in your simulation center, classroom, conference, or clinical space.

You bring the space, the people, and the equipment. PAC brings the learning system.
What you are building

The course may last a day. The learning space can stay.

A PACscape is not a display. It is a room connected to a living curriculum.

The physical poster holds the mental model in the room. Its digital counterpart opens the evidence, explanation, video, and guided practice behind it. Add a task trainer and a thoughtful faculty member, and the same space becomes a repeatable place to learn, rehearse, teach, and return.

01 // SEE

Visual system

Museum-scale poster art gives the room a memorable conceptual anchor.

02 // OPEN

Digital layer

QR-connected pages reveal the living curriculum behind the physical artifact.

03 // REHEARSE

Practice station

Your equipment and simple drills turn an idea into repeatable action.

04 // COACH

Human guide

Faculty observation, feedback, and conversation make the space come alive.

A simple build sequence

Four moves. One living learning space.

Start small. A single poster and a focused practice station are enough. The system can expand later without changing how it works.

STEP 01

Choose the PACscape

Begin with the clinical problem or performance gap that matters to your people now.

One clear purpose is enough.
STEP 02

Open the curriculum

Enter the matching digital space. Review its mental models, media, and guided practice.

Know the path before you teach it.
STEP 03

Print. Gather. Place.

Download the poster, use the setup notes, and arrange the equipment you already own.

Build for use, not decoration.
STEP 04

Practice. Coach. Reopen.

Guide one focused drill, give specific feedback, and leave the PACscape available for return.

Repetition makes it a system.
Poster + guide library

Build with what you have

Use your equipment. Fill only the gaps.

A PACscape does not require a prescribed equipment package. Start with the devices and task trainers your team actually uses. Add only what helps learners rehearse the target behavior safely and realistically.

01
One visual anchor
The matching PAC poster, printed at a useful scale.
02
One practice surface
A clear table, cart, bay, or skills station.
03
Relevant equipment
Your clinical devices, consumables, and task trainer.
04
A way to reopen PAC
The printed QR code plus a connected phone, tablet, or display.
Build at your scale

One station or an entire learning environment.

01Single skill station

One poster, one device family, one coached behavior.

02Residency teaching day

Several PACscapes arranged as an intentional rotation.

03Conference installation

A temporary gallery that turns breaks and transitions into learning.

04Recurring program

A familiar space revisited with new drills, scenarios, and feedback.

05Connected ecosystem

Multiple rooms and settings joined by one visual and digital language.

Choose your access path

Start personally. Build institutionally.

The same PACscape system works for an individual clinician, a teaching team, or an entire program.

For individual clinicians

PAC Premium

Begin with complete online access, explore the PACscapes, and build a focused station for yourself or a small team.

For educators + institutions

Bring PAC to your program

Plan a larger installation, faculty development experience, live event, or connected learning ecosystem with PAC.

Practical questions

Before you build.

Do I need special PAC equipment?

No. Bring the equipment your team already uses. The PACscape supplies the conceptual and digital learning structure; you decide which trainer, devices, and consumables best support the practice goal.

Can I begin with a single poster?

Yes. A single PACscape is the best way to begin: one clinical purpose, one poster, one connected curriculum, and one focused rehearsal station.

How should I print the poster?

Use the available poster file at its native 2:3 proportion and choose a size readable in the room. Avoid cropping the artwork. A local print shop can advise on paper, mounting, and display options for your space.

Do learners need PAC accounts?

Access depends on the learning material and how your program is structured. PAC Premium is the simplest individual route; institutional access is the better fit for organized teaching programs and larger groups.

Can PAC help us design the installation?

Yes. Educators and institutions can ask PAC about learning-space design, faculty development, live programming, and ways to connect multiple PACscapes into one coherent environment.

The next PACscape can happen where you are

Build the room. Open the curriculum. Bring practice to life.

Choose one learning space and begin with the people, equipment, and setting already around you.
