Obstetrical emergencies are rare—fortunately. But that rarity makes it difficult for clinicians to be maximally prepared when one does occur. The only way to be ready for such events is to practice. The Quality OB Safety SIMS program was strategically developed to offer frequent, simulated training which can be practiced with minimal equipment on a labor and delivery unit where these serious emergencies occur.
