MOCA Simulation December Session

Friday, December 13, 2024, 7:15 AM - 7:15 PM CST, UAMS Simulation Center, Little Rock, AR

Simulation education is an innovative training method where anesthesiologists problem-solve in a setting closely replicating actual clinical experience during surgery. Courses realistically recreate challenging anesthesia crisis resource management scenarios. Each participant serves as the primary anesthesiologist for a team-based scenario, a responder for others as well as an observer for some. Following each scenario, all participants engage in a facilitated, constructive conversation focused on practice improvement in the participants’ clinical setting. Additionally, the course offers advanced skills labs. The Participant-Instructor ratio is typically concentrated at 5:2. You will not receive a grade. There is no test. No record is kept of the participants’ performance. The course is not pass/fail. What happens in the Simulation Center stays in the Simulation Center. The UAMS Simulation Center welcomes you to a supportive culture, in a safe, controlled learning environment. Upon completion of this educational activity, American Board of Anesthesiology diplomates will receive the required five years of MOCA Part 4 credit (25 points) as part of their current cycle. Diplomates who choose to do so in each 5-year cycle get all of the required 50 points per 10-year cycle.
