Community Outreach Simulation Program

The Health and Medicine Division and The Joint Commission recognize simulated medical experiences as an important training method to increase patient safety. Our program tailors educational sessions to meet the specific needs of each participating team or individual.

What Participants Can Expect

The Community Outreach Simulation Program provides on-site, simulation-based education sessions to delivery room resuscitation teams. We can also address other stabilization issues beyond the delivery room. Training is geared toward multi-professional resuscitation teams in their own environments.

Participants can expect the following on the day of training:

• The program team will bring equipment to conduct simulated medical experiences, including high-fidelity mannequins, task trainers and audio/video recording and playback devices.
• The program will include several high-risk delivery room scenarios and skill stations.
• The program will emphasize delivery room technical skills, team communication in a crisis, use of available resources, and stabilization and management of critically ill newborns when waiting for a transport team.

Additional Training

In addition to community outreach simulations, we also offer the following training programs:

• Simulation education instructor course
• Neonatal Resuscitation Program
• Additional training/simulations tailored to your needs or your team's needs

An Indiana University Health Values Grant supports the Community Outreach Simulation Program. There is no fee for one program visit per year. Additional training may require a fee.
