New FMT Product: Rural Resource: Availability of Obstetric Simulation Training by State
The Flex Monitoring Team (FMT) has released a new product, Rural Resource: Availability of Obstetric Simulation Training by State. Obstetric simulation training is one-way clinical health professionals can maintain skills, which is of particular importance for rural hospitals with low birth volumes and for rural hospitals that do not have obstetric un8its but need to remain prepared for obstetric emergencies.
This environmental scan includes a list of obstetric simulation trainings by state as well as national and regional offerings, Fifteen trainings identified have a specific rural focus, and each training includes a link to the program, a description, the intended audience, and whether the training includes a mobile unit.
Critical Access Hospitals can use this resource to identify available trainings in their state or neighboring states, foster new partnerships with organizations offering simulation training, or use as examples of rural-specific training programs.
