The Simulation Lab offers the entire ER team including physicians, advanced practice clinicians, nurses, techs, and hospital staff the opportunity to train with adult and baby mannequins. By practicing critical skills in a calm, controlled environment, team members become more efficient and confident in an emergency situation.
