OHSU recognizes the importance of simulation
technology as a tool in the education of health care
providers. Its importance is rapidly expanding and will
become the standard in the new millennium. A
competent practitioner requires knowledge; technical
skills; communication skills; and the ability to work in
an interdisciplinary environment. Educators now have
the ability to expose participants to each of these areas.

Fortunately, critical events are rare in health care.
However, when they do occur the provider must be
prepared to manage the event in an effective and safe manner. The simulation center will expose participants to critical events in a controlled, reproducible environment.

Participants of full-scale simulation will experience:

• ACLS and ATLS training.
• Realistic crisis management without patient risk
• Advance critical event training.
• Basic clinical event management
• Basic and advanced physiology and pharacology teaching applications.
• Interdisciplinary and team training
• Leadership training.
