Training methodology conform to the target group
Even if the study content during the teaching of medical specialists in obstetrics and gynaecology includes assisted
deliveries, this does not guarantee that during their training, physicians will encounter all possible pathologies.
Therefore the better the delivery personnel are trained and the better they can perform in a routine sense, the fewer
complications will occur and the more difficult complications can be dealt with. After all, even experienced obstetri-
cians will sometimes encounter situations during deliveries that occur only rarely. SIM
one
™ is the first birth simulator
directed to the needs of medical personnel. As a training instrument, it provides various teaching methods.
Basic training
Basic training is oriented to model instruction in which
the trainer demonstrates each individual process, points
out possible errors and allows participants to carry out
the processes themselves using the simulator. In this way
the participant learns to work with the forceps and the
vacuum cup.
Problem Based learning (PBL)
A refresher and special-training course makes use of
problem-based learning and simulates what begins as a
normal process, during which problems subsequently
arise. Here, it is the task of the participant to react
quickly and correctly. After the training, participants
receive feedback and information on how to correct
errors as the simulator can be rewound to the time at
which the actions of the participant were below best
practice. For this type of teaching, SIM
one
™ offers a wide
range of possible deliveries.
