Team Scenario Training
Simulation at Penn Medicine offers team-based scenario training designed to strengthen communication, clinical decision-making, teamwork, patient safety, and clinical outcomes.
Training scenarios are delivered using a variety of high-fidelity simulators in realistic clinical environments, including:
- Operating room
- Inpatient hospital room
- Intensive care and emergency department setting
- Labor, delivery, and recovery room
Simulation staff operate the simulators, audiovisual systems, and session recordings from a centrally located control room, creating immersive learning experiences that closely replicate real-world clinical situations.
Scenario Development
Faculty and instructors may develop their own training scenarios or collaborate with Simulation Center staff to create customized experiences that align with specific educational objectives.
A variety of existing scenarios are also available, including:
- Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS)
- Megacode cases
- Algorithm-specific cases
- Basic and complex medical nursing scenarios
- Basic and complex surgical nursing scenarios
- Patient safety scenarios
- Safe operation of hospital equipment
- Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) scenarios
Each training session includes a structured debriefing that promotes reflection, reinforces best practices, and identifies opportunities to improve individual and team performance.
Whether utilizing an existing scenario or developing a new one, Simulation at Penn Medicine partners with faculty to deliver engaging, high-quality simulation experiences that meet the needs of learners across a variety of healthcare disciplines.
