The simulation center is proud of its work to provide high-caliber educational opportunities. ASA's endorsement will allow the center to provide physician anesthesiologists and their patients with a powerful advantage as simulation education demonstrates a direct upgrade in patient safety and quality of care. Simulation education is an innovative training method in which physician anesthesiologists problem-solve issues in a setting that closely replicates clinical experience during surgery.

Courses are designed to realistically re-create challenging cases, such as insufficient oxygen levels in the blood, difficult airway management, emergency blood pressure issues and cardiac events. These centers also offer courses that provide a safe environment to learn about new techniques or drugs. Simulation education offers experience in crisis management, patient safety and professional teamwork in a controlled setting that can be difficult to teach in the active operating arena.

LEARN MORE
Activity Objectives At the conclusion of this activity, the participant should be able to: Decrease the instance of vague or disorganized communication, and thereby improve patient safety though the use of communication verification tools and clear multidepartmental communication Decrease the occurrence of morbidity and mortality through effective timing and utilization of resources in emergency situations Provide effective management of hemodynamic and respiratory critical events in anesthesia Provide a broader differential diagnosis during debriefing sessions by recognizing and eliminating potential areas of cognitive bias Reflect on the teamwork, leadership and communication skills required in crisis management Develop a process improvement plan to implement at home institution
Purpose The purpose of this simulated activity is to provide anesthesiologists with case scenarios that may be seen in daily practice. They will complete the simulation and reflect individually and as a group on their performances with guided debriefing. The Cedars-Sinai Department of Anesthesiology and peri-operative care faculty and staff are dedicated to the American Board of Anesthesiology's Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology (MOCA) components.

These include: Adherence to good professional standing Lifelong learning and self-assessment Cognitive examination Practice performance assessment and improvement High-fidelity simulation allows for active learning and cognitive and performance assessment through scenario participation and after action review. Our extensive libraries of common and critical scenarios are derived from actual cases seen in Cedars-Sinai operating rooms or from published case reports.

Many of the scenarios explore broad differential diagnoses and devolve into a crisis scenario based on advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), requiring active and current knowledge of guidelines, effective interdepartmental and interpersonal communication skills, and confidence in a stressful situation. Target Audience Board-certified anesthesiologists who need to fulfill their MOCA Part IV requirements or who would like to gain experience in critical cases in a simulated environment. Course Fee Course fee is $1,950.
