About this Course: This immersive obstetric emergency simulation training program occurs throughout MedStar Health. It is designed to strengthen interdisciplinary teamwork, sharpen communication skills, and enhance clinical performance during high-risk maternal events. Through realistic, scenario-based simulations, participants will practice applying critical language, utilizing active call-outs and closed-loop communication, and maintaining shared situational awareness in rapidly evolving situations. The course emphasizes collaborative problem-solving and shared decision-making among nurses, providers, and support staff to ensure coordinated, safe, and timely care. By integrating structured communication strategies with hands-on clinical management, this training prepares teams to respond confidently and cohesively to obstetric emergencies, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
