Simulation Center

Harbor-UCLA Medical Center has its own freestanding simulation center, which is utilized by various specialties for resident training. Anesthesia-related equipment housed at the simulation center includes airway management devices, central venous catheter trainers, airway mannequins, physiologically responsive adult and pediatric simulators, a functional anesthesia ventilator, and mock medication, malignant hyperthermia, and crash carts.

Residents utilize the simulation center for airway management training and participate in a central line placement workshop quarterly.

Residents can also supplement their education experience by utilizing the transesophageal echocardiography trainer housed at our institution’s Simulation Center.
