Build competencies and navigate emergencies in a safe environment. Choose from popular virtual training you can complete anywhere or sign up for a live program near you.
Select either option for details about learning objectives, available MOCA® credits, and more.
Choose from five realistic modules — Trauma, Appendectomy, Robotic Surgery, PACU, and Labor and Delivery — as you solve complex anesthesia emergencies in an immersive virtual space.
Navigate a fully-functioning operating room, PACU, or labor and delivery suite as you operate realistic medical equipment and interact with a dynamically responding patient and an interprofessional team. You'll receive feedback as you go, to help you identify your strengths and areas of improvement.
Created in partnership with simulation experts CAE Healthcare to maximize your learning.
Excellent activity to simulate an event that anesthesia providers rarely see and need practice managing.”
Anesthesia SimSTAT - Appendectomy learner
“It is very realistic. I felt my heart racing as I was scrambling to do all the necessary tasks while managing results, procedures, my differential diagnosis, and communication with the team and patient.”
Anesthesia SimSTAT - Labor & Delivery learner
“Forces you to think and act on various scenarios that fortunately are rare. I feel that this should be required of all providers.”
Anesthesia SimSTAT - PACU learner
Work with a small group to develop strategies, practice teamwork, and hone communication skills as you reproduce the clinical experience to problem solve around hemodynamic instability, significant hypoxemia, and other challenges.
Choose from more than 50 ASA-endorsed simulation centers across the U.S. to find a location and schedule that work for you.
LEARN MORE“I was very pleased with my experience. We all have very busy careers and lives, and I probably groaned at having to commit valuable time off and a not insignificant amount of money to participate in this simulation course. I was pleasantly surprised by the experience, I feel I it was well worth the time and money spent.”
MOCA Simulation Course at University of Miami
“As intimidating as simulation sounds, This was an excellent, non judgmental space to learn and reflect on our practices. I will be returning as this was an excellent course and taught by instructors with a passion for improving quality of care.”
MOCA Simulation Course at University of Minnesota
“The two Pediatric Anesthesiologists were EXCELLENT instructors, and obviously cared about my learning. They were also GREAT actors during the simulations! However, their BEST attributes were the discussions/questions after each simulator session. I would gladly return for another course in the future.”
