UC Davis Health Center for Simulation and Education Enhancement

We our nurses, who recently spent some time in the simulation center participating in mechanical ventilation scenarios.

Physicians received training on brain death assessment from neurologists Alan Yee and Ryan Martin this week in the simulation center. Check out the photos of the learners with Dr. Yee playing the role of a nurse.

Declaring that a patient has brain death is a high stakes and intense process that requires a very specific skill set. Neurologist Alan Yee explains the importance and value of training for this situation using simulation. Pictures from the sessions to follow!

Final pictures of the trainings in the simulation center on the minimally invasive da Vinci Xi surgical system. Lots of great learning taking place!

We’re practicing suturing and other tasks in the simulation center using the minimally invasive da Vinci Xi surgical system trainer. What an amazing robotic system!

We’ve been having trainings in the simulation center for more than a week now on the minimally invasive da Vinci Xi surgical system. Check out the training equipment!

Happy Friday! Here is a little behind-the-scenes look at one of our control rooms. From here, our simulation specialist can control the mannequin and watch the scenario unfold via video feeds and the one-way glass window.

We’re having multiple days of VDR mechanical ventilation training this week in the simulation center thanks to representatives and trainers from Percussionaire Corporation.

We wish you a spook-tacular Halloween!

We are proud to have been part of this effort, helping in simulations for the care of these two amazing and cute little girls! We're so glad to hear that they are doing well.

Our simulation center medical director, Ian Julie, M.D., is rocking the distance learning space! Here he is teaching a group of medical students who are all online. Way to go, Dr. Julie!

Did you know that our Year 1 medical students explore biochemistry through simulation scenarios? This is just one way we help students understand what they’re reading about in their textbooks! #sepsis #lacticacidosis #meded

Our neonatal nurses spent the day in the simulation center practicing skills related to infant intubation and resuscitation. Thank you nurses for all you do!

We always enjoy having the UCD OBGYN Residency folks in our simulation center! This week it's all about FLS training and we are proud to be recognized a certified test center for the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) program.

Our nurses are in the simulation center today learning all about how to prep and use the robotic, minimally invasive da Vinci Xi surgical system for colorectal cases.

Our OB/Gyn residents got some hands-on practice with cystoscopes this week in the #simulation center. #meded #obgyn #medicalresident #obgynresidency

What busy bees! Our OB/Gyn residents are practicing their stitching skills on beef tongues in the #simulation center. #meded #obgyn

Breech babies, shoulder dystocia cases and forceps oh my! We’re having a blast in the #simulation center today with our OB/Gyn residents! #OB/Gyn #MedEd

Election day is less than two months away! Whether you are registering for the first time, need to re-register with a new address or looking to find information about local voter assistance centers, you can find it at the link below. #NationalVoterRegistrationDay

We conducted an in-situ pediatric airway foreign body #simulation event today! Got all the way to ECMO but baby is doing fine. Love seeing resus reach the OR and the surgery team do their thing. #MedEd
