Simulation

As a member of the Emergency Medicine Pediatric fellowship, you will have a wide range of training opportunities. Recently our fellows took part in an outdoor simulation training that gave medical professionals from a wide range of roles the chance to respond to emergency scenarios. This training was put on by UNMC’s iExcel a leading-edge visualization and medical training center, at which our program fellows receive advanced emergency room simulation experiences.
