The benefits of integrating simulation training in oral and maxillofacial surgery residency programs is plainly evident with the potential to increase surgical competency and decrease medical errors without risk to patients. The development of this technology may be in very early stages, however, the ACS, AAOS and other surgical specialities and major centers are heavily involved in simulation training as this is available 24/7 without harming the patient. It is clear that this form of training will continue to expand and affect medical and dental residency training in a profound manner. It is imperative that OMSs become involved in simulation education and this educational program will provide you with an understanding of the benefits of integrating clinical simulation into training in OMS.
The program will include various topics such as: What do we need in OMS, Government Role in promotion and funding of the new technologies, the military and surgical experience with clinical simulations, existing models in anesthesia training programs and the corporate role in the development of clinical simulators.
Join your colleagues for this outstanding educational program and become familiar with the various technologies and modalities currently available and under development for clinical simulators.
