Name of journal: Seminars in perinatologyAbstract: Simulation for training new providers is no longer the wave of the future, but the reality of the present. It provides significant activation and allows for both the integration of concepts with actual application and the ability to practice a wide range of procedural skills at an earlier stage of training than would otherwise be possible. It is also an optimal method to sharpen teamwork and communication skills that are critical to patient safety. These concepts are especially relevant in the field of obstetrics, where even routine deliveries may become life-threatening emergencies and the health of the mother and child are dependent on correct and timely interventions and teamwork. Almost all of the skills needed, even for advanced invasive procedures, in obstetrics can be taught with currently available simulators. In this report we will discuss the use of medical simulation for training obstetric providers from medical school through subspecialty level training. Copyright 2013.
