SIMULATIONS

Laparoscopic Training and Simulation Training
The laparoscopic training lab and Simulation Olympics provide the opportunity for the residents, fellows, and med students to get comfortable with the equipment and mechanics of both laparoscopic and robotic approach. It also provides the opportunity for the senior residents to take more of the teaching role in a safe environment.

Drills
Labor and Delivery is a dynamic environment where split second decision making and action is of the utmost importance. At Harbor-UCLA, we understand the value of involving all members of the care team in this collaborative process. The Perinatal Emergency Response Team (PERT), consisting of Nursing, Neonatology, Obstetrics, Anesthesia and Respiratory therapy, helps to organize and arrange Obstetrical emergency drills. These simulations work towards improving responsiveness and our facilities ability to systematically meet the demands of the acute care setting. We continue to use this format to identify areas where Harbor-UCLA can innovatively continue to lead into the 21st century.
