Neonatal Perinatal Simulation Program
Simulation training is a mainstream educational method for residency and fellowship trainees. The simulation training begins during orientation of first year fellows and continues throughout their fellowship. Trainees learn to actively apply and incorporate knowledge and cognitive functions in specific crisis management scenarios.
A detailed overview of our simulation training can be found on our Neonatal Perinatal Simulation Program pamphlet.
