Simulation Training
We work withPalmetto Health RichlandandGreenville Hospital Systemto give you access to simulation training that willdynamically illustrate the anesthesia processes and procedures. This interactive system teaches you both psychomotor skills and crisis resource management.
Simulations are an incredibly valuable teaching tool because certain patient situations
are uncommon and it's very difficult to gain the experience you need to manage those
problems. The simulators will help you practice for those unusual events and help
you achieve the best possible outcome when you're faced with them in real life.
