Simulation and Procedure Labs
The procedure lab consists of residents taking turns performing rare and/or critical procedures in a controlled environment, typically done quarterly.
Simulation and procedural training are important and integrated into monthly residency didactic training. Procedure lab focuses on comfort and competence for emergency medicine procedures to include high acute and low occurrence tasks. Working with cadaveric tissue, task trainers, VR/AR, and innovative materials allows for flexibility and increased realism. The educational setting includes direct supervision and immediate feedback including discussion of indications and alternative approaches.
Simulation lab training is done at the Davis Global Center, a state-of-the-art 192,000 sq. ft. simulation center located on campus.
Simulation training is done at the Davis Global Center, a highly advanced clinical simulation facility. The 192,000 sq. ft. center is made up of five distinct levels that work together to create a safe and innovative learning environment. Simulation utilizes multimodal design and a state-of-the-art facilities to create realism and promote critical thinking and skills acquisition. Learning objectives and thoughtful debriefing ensure a positive learning experience and a highlight of training.
Procedure and simulation labs are integral to the training of EM residents at UNMC. They also allow for preparation for board certification and a resource for research and quality
