Simulation MOCA

Simulation Curriculum

The MOCA simulation volunteers at MCW offer a robust training experience for medical students, interns, residents, fellows, faculty, and interdisciplinary teams.
In the simulation center or in situ, using high and low fidelity or part task trainers, audiovisual recordings, and standardized patients, you'll have access to a wide range of different training situations.

Medical Students

Monthly full-day course during Anesthesia rotation

  • Airway skills
  • Invasive skills (IVs, arterial lines, central lines, spinal puncture)
  • Basic scenarios using high fidelity simulation (hypotension due to blood loss, hypoxia due to bronchospasm, etc.)
Anesthesia Interns

4 half-day sessions per year with groups of 7-9 residents

  • Communication (“speak up”)
